     $.getJSON(\'http://localhost/ABC/web/app_d         


        

Answer 1

Use the following code to append your tag:

$("#idcatFill").append(function() {
    var elem = $('');
    for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
         row = data[i];
         elem.append('' + row['category_name'] + '');
    }
    return elem;
});


you can't attach incomplete elements to the dom. You need to build your  tag before inserting it.
