Simple Ajax toolkit question for processing reults.

I am using the Ajax toolkit for the first time and had a simple question.

 

I have a query that looks like this.

 

userEmailQuery = "Select Email From User WHERE id ="+"'"+userId+"' ";
result = sforce.connection.query(userEmailQuery);

 

which results in a string that looks like this....{done:'true', queryLocator:null, records:{type:'User', Id:null, Email:'me@mycompany.com', }, size:'1', }

 

I am having trouble just getting my Email element using the syntax below. What is the proper way to obtain the value of the Email from the above result.

 

result.Email;
result.get("Email");

 

Thanks

From the sample code in the docs:

 

result = sforce.connection.query("Select Name, Id from User");
  records = result.getArray("records");
 
  for (var i=0; i< records.length; i++) {
    var record = records[i];
    log(record.Name + " -- " + record.Id);
  }

 Your result variable contains a variable called records, which is an array of the returned data.  The elements of records contain the fields you want.

Thanks Wereworlf!

 

The approach below is how I have it currently working. 

 

So this is the way it needs to process whether we want one record returned or multiple? When I first saw the example and used it, I was assuming it was implying the approach for multiple row records. 

 

I don't feel so bad now. 

 

Thanks again for your help.

Sorry, meant the approach in Werewolf's example is how I have it currently working.
