I was under the impression that the following code should work, but I'm
having no luck at all. I have a PHP script that returns a simple XML
string and I need to get the value of the one and only element. 

$.get('/path/to/script', function(xml) {
    // xml variable is '<?xml version="1.0"?><result>1</result>'

    // r variable is []
    var r = $('result', xml);

    // t variable is ""
    var t = r.text();
});

I know that the "context" parameter of the $ function is supposed to be
a DOM object or document, but I thought a previous version of jQuery
allowed an XML string to be passed in as well. Does jQuery parse XML
strings into documents or how else is this functionality accomplished?
