[jQuery] Re: Issue with getJSON function... I get the JSON file but I can't do anything with it !! Help please

Guys I fixed it...
I was not trying to access the data properly...
Instead of writing data[2] and expect to get the data from it,
I needed to ask for it explicitly: data[2].story.title.

This gave me the title...

Thx for your help guys..
