Since I can't see what your script is or how your server is serving
it.. I'll share my experience
when you get a pure xml file or a cgi created xml file with the
correct headers the parameter 'xml' is actually a dom tree. If it is a
"text/whateveelse" mimetype, you get text only! no dom!
Down inside jquery I patched the ajax call to override mime type, for
html requests, so I could easily get at the dom of my xhtml. After a
while I decided it was just as easy to regex thru the text as it is to
$('node',xml).
so my advise is to check the typeof xml.
