I'm looking to dynamically add content to my page using jQuery and JavaScript, but having issues loading the content. I've created 4 separate objects, and I'm using a function to add each object's content to the page when I invoke it with each argument (book1, book2, album1, album2). I would like to be able to have the page load the objects and respective content to the page as such: book1, book2, album1, album2.
At the moment, however, I'm seeing the "name", "category", and "price" property values from book2 (Life of Pi), along with the "selling_points" values from book1 on each of the 4 divs when I load the page, instead.
*I'm currently getting an "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'forEach' of undefined" for the "product.selling_points.forEach(function(point)" part of my code when I check the console.
Also, I am not sure how to write the code to add each object's respective picture_url; I'm currently simply directly adding the img url I'd like to use for book1 to each div.
