finding value in nested jquery array

Question

I cant get that to work:

My json

[{"myicons":[{"icon":[{"rel":"1","id":"icon1","class":"bookmark desktop-icon ui-draggable","title":"bookmark1"}]},{"icon":[{"rel":"2","id":"icon2","class":"bookmark desktop-icon ui-draggable","title":"bookmark2"}]}]}]

My jquery each function finds the 2 icons but i cant seem to get the values... it keeps saying undefined.

var myicons = data[0].myicons;
            $.each(myicons, function() {

                var iconid = this.id;
                alert(iconid);
});

Your JSON is full of array. i,e. data, myicons and even icon

$.each(data, function () {
    var myicons = this.myicons;
    $.each(myicons, function () {
        var iconid = this.icon[0].id;
        alert(iconid);
    });
});

DEMO

I strongly suggest you to simplify yous JSON object
