Q: Parsing a JSON and have the value logged in a different div I am new at learning code - so please be patient. I am attempting to create a Jeopardy style game for my wife (who is a school teacher). However, I am running into a problem. I would like to click on a link ($100, etc.) and have the clue (value) logged into a div on a separate page. Through my research, I have settled on creating a JSON object from an array and then have the JSON parsed for index and value.
Here is my HTML:
<ul id="rowOne">
    <li><a href="clueJ.html">$100</a></li>
    <li><a href="clueJ.html">$100</a></li>
    <li><a href="clueJ.html">$100</a></li>
    <li><a href="clueJ.html">$100</a></li>
    <li><a href="clueJ.html">$100</a></li>
</ul>

Here is the div where I would like the value logged:
<div id="clueContainer" class="center"></div>

Here is my Jquery:
$(document).ready(function(){

var rowOne = array [

{name:"$100", value:"On the world political map, where were some of the major states and empires located about 1500 A.D. (C.E.)?"},
{name:"$200", value:"What were the artistic, literary, and intellectual ideas of the Renaissance?"},
{name:"$300", value:"Where were the five world religions located around 1500 A.D. (C.E.)?"},
{name:"$400", value:"What were the regional trading patterns about 1500 A.D. (C.E.)?"},
{name:"$500", value:"Why were the regional trading patterns important?",}

];

var json = JSON.parse(rowOne);

$("li a href").click(function(){
$.each(json, function(index, value){
    $("#clueContainer").append(function(){
    $(value).log(<p>+value+</p>);

});
});
});
});

Are there any ideas out there or an I approaching this project the wrong way?

A: I'm not familiar with jeopardy, but the list should contain the values from $100 to $500?
I modified your code, assuming the list is ascending: fiddle
No fiddle without code:
$(document).ready(function () {

    var rowOne = {
        "$100": "On the world political map, where were some of the major states and empires located about 1500 A.D. (C.E.)?",
        "$200": "What were the artistic, literary, and intellectual ideas of the Renaissance?",
        "$300": "Where were the five world religions located around 1500 A.D. (C.E.)?",
        "$400": "What were the regional trading patterns about 1500 A.D. (C.E.)?",
        "$500": "Why were the regional trading patterns important?"
    };

    $("li").on('click', 'a', function () {
        var foo = $(this).text();
        $('#clueContainer').text( rowOne[foo] );
    });
});


A: You have the right idea for arrays but the syntax is a little different than what you have. I've created an array of array of objects. The structure is similar to this:
   var arr = [[
       {
          property: value 
       }, {
          property: value 
       }][{
          property: value 
       }, {
          property: value 
       }]
    ];

I added a class called rows to the ul element and you can then iterate over that with each() using jQuery's built in index (p in our case) and then iterate over the number of a elements in the ul to add a question from the rows array.
$(document).ready(function () {
    var rows = [
        [{
            name: "$100",
            value: "On the world political map, where were some of the major states and empires located about 1500 A.D. (C.E.)?"
        }, {
            name: "$200",
            value: "What were the artistic, literary, and intellectual ideas of the Renaissance?"
        }, {
            name: "$300",
            value: "Where were the five world religions located around 1500 A.D. (C.E.)?"
        }, {
            name: "$400",
            value: "What were the regional trading patterns about 1500 A.D. (C.E.)?"
        }, {
            name: "$500",
            value: "Why were the regional trading patterns important?"
        }],
        [{
            name: "$100",
            value: "Who cares about the price of tea in China?"
        }, {
            name: "$200",
            value: "Why did the chicken cross the road?"
        }, {
            name: "$300",
            value: "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
        }, {
            name: "$400",
            value: "How many SEO specialists does it take to change a light, bulb, lightbulb, energy, electricity?"
        }, {
            name: "$500",
            value: "Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?"
        }]
    ];
    $(".rows").each(function (p) {
        $("#row" + p).find("a").each(function (i) {
            $(this).text(rows[p][i].name);
            $(this).click(function () {
                var value = rows[p][i].value;;
                $("#clueContainer").html(value);
            });
        });
    });
});
