jQuery 'each' loop with JSON array

I'm trying to use jQuery's each loop to go through this JSON and add it to a div named #contentHere. The JSON is as follows:

{ "justIn": [
  { "textId": "123", "text": "Hello", "textType": "Greeting" },
  { "textId": "514", "text":"What's up?", "textType": "Question" },
  { "textId": "122", "text":"Come over here", "textType": "Order" }
  ],
 "recent": [
  { "textId": "1255", "text": "Hello", "textType": "Greeting" },
  { "textId": "6564", "text":"What's up?", "textType": "Question" },
  { "textId": "0192", "text":"Come over here", "textType": "Order" }
  ],
 "old": [
  { "textId": "5213", "text": "Hello", "textType": "Greeting" },
  { "textId": "9758", "text":"What's up?", "textType": "Question" },
  { "textId": "7655", "text":"Come over here", "textType": "Order" }
 ]
}

I'm getting this JSON through use of this code:

$.get("data.php", function(data){

}) 

Any solutions?

Try (untested):

$.getJSON("data.php", function(data){
    $.each(data.justIn, function() {
        $.each(this, function(k, v) {
            alert(k + ' ' + v);
        });
    });
    $.each(data.recent, function() {
        $.each(this, function(k, v) {
            alert(k + ' ' + v);
        });
    });
    $.each(data.old, function() {
        $.each(this, function(k, v) {
            alert(k + ' ' + v);
        });
    });    
});

I figured, three separate loops since you'll probably want to treat each dataset differently (justIn, recent, old). If not, you can do:

$.getJSON("data.php", function(data){
    $.each(data, function(k, v) {
        alert(k + ' ' + v);
        $.each(v, function(k1, v1) {
            alert(k1 + ' ' + v1);
        });
    });
});
