Hello,

On page load, I do one call to get the current status of all the favourite links (display the right message aka: click to subscribe, click to unsubscribe.

So far I have the following code:

    $(InitFavorite);

function InitFavorite(){

    var jList = $(".favourite_link");
    var ids_to_check = {};//new Array();

    $.each(jList, function () {
        var id = this.id;
        var object = id.split("_");
        if (!ids_to_check[object[1]]) {
            ids_to_check[object[1]] = [];
        }
        ids_to_check[object[1]].push(object[0]);
    });

    //console.log(ids_to_check);

    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: '/user/subscription/favourite-listing',
        data: ids_to_check,
        dataType: 'json',
         beforeSend: function(x) {
              if(x && x.overrideMimeType) {
               x.overrideMimeType("application/j-son;charset=UTF-8");
          }
         },
        error: function() {
            alert(1);
        },
        success: function(returned_values) {
            $.each(returned_values, function() {
                console.log($(this));
            })
        }
    });
}

My returned data is:

{"env":"development","loggedIn":true,"translate":{},"aaron":"{\"Playlist\":{\"10\":\"Stop Recieving Updates For This Playlist\"},\"Clip\":{\"26\":\"Recieve Updates For This Clip\",\"27\":\"Recieve Updates For This Clip\",\"28\":\"Recieve Updates For This Clip\",\"29\":\"Stop Recieving Updates For This Clip\",\"30\":\"Recieve Updates For This Clip\"}}"}

I would like it to loop through the data and for example update the class

<a href="/user/subscription/toggle/id/26/object/Clip" class="favourite_link" id="26_Clip">
        <img src="/design/images/icon/subscribe.png"> Add Clip To Favourites</a>

However eaching through returned_values equals this in firebug:

 ["{", """, "P", "l", "a", "y", "l", "i", "s", "t", """, ":", "{", """, "1", "0", """, ":", """, "S", "t", "o", "p", " ", "R", "e", "c", "i", "e", "v", "i", "n", "g", " ", "U", "p", "d", "a", "t", "e", "s", " ", "F", "o", "r", " ", "T", "h", "i", "s", " ", "P", "l", "a", "y", "l", "i", "s", "t", """, "}", ",", """, "C", "l", "i", "p", """, ":", "{", """, "2", "6", """, ":", """, "R", "e", "c", "i", "e", "v", "e", " ", "U", "p", "d", "a", "t", "e", "s", " ", "F", "o", "r", " ", "T", "h", "i", "s", " ", "C", "l", "i", "p", """, ",", """, "2", "7", """, ":", """, "R", "e", "c", "i", "e", "v", "e", " ", "U", "p", "d", "a", "t", "e", "s", " ", "F", "o", "r", " ", "T", "h", "i", "s", " ", "C", "l", "i", "p", """, ",", """, "2", "8", """, ":", """, "R", "e", "c", "i", "e", "v", "e", " ", "U", "p", "d", "a", "t", "e", "s", " ", "F", "o", "r", " ", "T", "h", "i", "s", " ", "C", "l", "i", "p", """, ",", """, "2", "9", """, ":", """, "S", "t", "o", "p", " ", "R", "e", "c", "i", "e", "v", "i", "n", "g", " ", "U", "p", "d", "a", "t", "e", "s", " ", "F", "o", "r", " ", "T", "h", "i", "s", " ", "C", "l", "i", "p", """, ",", """, "3", "0", """, ":", """, "R", "e", "c", "i", "e", "v", "e", " ", "U", "p", "d", "a", "t", "e", "s", " ", "F", "o", "r", " ", "T", "h", "i", "s", " ", "C", "l", "i", "p", """, "}", "}"]

How would I successfully loop that json array? Many thanks
