I'm trying to populate @timestamp value to a table using the following code. // $(row).html(item.\_source.message); $(row).html(item.\_source.\_timestamp); this is not working but other fields apart from @timestamp we are able to populate to the table Do you know how to populate @timestamp value to table. Please help me in how we can do this. We are quering the @timestamp value using moustache file from elastic search. ---

Have you tried `item.source.@timestamp` or `item.source['@timestamp']`? ---

Can you share the syntax error? Also, just for debugging purposes, can you output the entirety of `item._source` and paste it here? ---

Please find the syntax error Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL Code: resp.hits.hits.forEach( function(item) { var row = "#srchres table tr:nth-child("+i+") td:nth-child(2)"; $(row).html(item.\_source.@timestamp); // $(row).html(item.\_source.message); // $(row).html( item.\_source['@timestamp']); i++; }); Please find the item.\_source { "\_index": "logstash-2016.01.05", "\_type": "logs", "\_id": "AVIQkVhZdgDuKuS\_rjvC", "\_score": 1.4354146, "\_source": { "@timestamp": "2016-01-05T06:55:04.189Z", "message": "2015/11/10 20:48:28 [ERRTEST] /SW2/spanky/i2c-3/FT3: Read Reg 21" } ---

Inside the `forEach` can you do a `console.log(item._source)` and paste it's output here, please? ---

Okay, so that clearly indicates that `@timestamp` is part of the object. I think this is a jQuery escaping issue. I'm not a jQuery expert but I'd suggest trying to escape the `@` character. Maybe try `item._source['\\@timestamp']`, according to [https://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/](https://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/)? ---

Thanks. I've tried thus but getting syntax error. Even i'm learning Jquery. ---
