[jQuery] Re: Traverse XML string

[Dave Methvin]

 var xml = foodburgercheese/burger/food;
 var result = $(xml).find(food).find(burger).text();

The root node for your xml is food, so when you try to find a nested
food node in that it fails. Try $(xml).find(burger).text();

I tried that but still get an empty result. I seached google and saw
examples like yours all over the place so maybe it's something else.

here's the full source:


html
  head
title/title
script type=text/javascript language=javascript
src=jquery-1.2.6.min.js/script
script type=text/javascript language=javascript
$(document).ready(function()
{
$(body).css(background-color, yellow);
var xml = foodburgercheese/burger/food;
var result = $(xml).find(burger).text();
alert(result);
});
/script
  /head
/html

Your example works for me. Use firebug and make sure you are not
getting errors from some other problem.

Hi Dave,


I thought jquery is browser-independent but it seems the code works
for firefox but not for IE, any idea why?

Yeah, I see what you mean about IE now.

The problem seems to be that IE can't tell whether the string is HTML
or XML, and jQuery doesn't have a way to tell either. Mike Geary
posted a parser that works for both that you can use to parse the
string and pass that tree into jQuery.
