getJSON typerror e is undefined

Question

I have this jQuery below:

$.getJSON('../GetCities?', { term: inputString }, function (data) {            
  var anchorTagElements = '';
  console.log("line 39 ");
  $.each(data.items, function (i, item) {
    console.log("line 41 " );    
    anchorTagElements = anchorTagElements + '<a href=""><span class="searchheading">' +
      item.City + ', </span></a>';
  });
});

I can see the data is coming back from the server using firebug I can see the line 39 is printed to the log but line 41 is not meaning it failed right before the line 41 console.log

Error message I am getting is TypeError: e is undefined

error message

any ideas where to look at?

EDIT

Using jQuery non-minified I got:

TypeError: obj is undefined
length = obj.length,

It is failing while trying to get the length to evaluate i. I am not sure why I can see the data coming back correctly.

Here is the Data that comes back:

data

It seems the script is `minified` version. have a look at this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3475024/whats-the-difference-between-jquery-js-and-jquery-min-js — Hary, Jan 16 '13 at 04:45
What DON is saying, is that the `non-minified` version will give you error reporting that shows you where the issue occured. Using the `minified version` will only show you reference variables, makes debugging hard. — Ohgodwhy, Jan 16 '13 at 04:47
I've posted my comment as answer. You are iterating `data.items` which is `undefined`. `data` is an array, loop through it. — Jashwant, Jan 16 '13 at 05:10

$.each(data, function (i, item) {  
            anchorTagElements = anchorTagElements + '<a href=""><span class="searchheading">' +
                item.City + ', </span></a>';
});

Try:

$(data.items).each(function (i, item) {

Also, try printing data to see if it is valid.
