7,617 PointsHow come I can't access an object even though it exists
I am using jquery ajax and json to retrieve information from an API. When the information is shown, it is unable to retrieve two properties from 2 objects. I currently can access 4 out of 6 objects with ease. The other two (bran stark and arya stark) I'm having a difficult time with, I can't access their last two properties (Seasons and PlayedBy. I know for a fact that all the I am using and their properties exist, so why can't I access specific properties from specific objects? Everything else I am able to access just not the last two properties.

In the code that gets the "spouse" field, you have these lines:
if (data.spouse === "") {
return spouse.html("N/A");
So if there is no spouse, the function returns and the remaining fields of the page are not updated. That return keyword should probably not be there.
There is similar code elsewhere in the function, but it is not executed for any of these particular data records. But if you expand the program to include other records (or if these should change) it could also cause incomplete updates.
