Jim, you can use the siblings() exactly as you put in your code, the only
thing you should watch out for is siblings() will return a group of jQuery
objects, which in your case doesn't matter as item_id only has a single
sibling, item_name. When you chain text() to a group of jQuery objects, only
the first jQuery object returns its text. I'm not up on performance issues
with jQuery, like I said before, there are a couple of ways of doing this,
and you typically (in my experience) won't see performance differences
between methods (say using XPath instead of CSS or find()) until you start
dealing with a large (300+) dataset (at which point I'd forgo ajax and just
deliver using html).

Ok, here's another question.... I've got this code working:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#resultcontainer').accordion();
$("dt").click(function(){
idsource = $(this).attr("id");
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "getItems.php",
data: {cat_id: idsource},
dataType: "xml",
success: function(xml){
//build a table from xml
results.
var output =
'<table><thead><tr><th>Items Available</th></tr></thead><tbody>';
//create rows for each
result.
$("item_id", xml).each(
function() {
var linkId
= $(this).text();
output += '<tr>';
output +=
'<td>'+$(this).text()+'</td>';
output += '<td><a
href="itemdetail.php?item_id='+linkId+'"
>'+$(this).siblings().text()+'</a></td>';
output += '</tr>';
}
)
output +=
'</tbody></table>';
$('#itemtable'+idsource).html(output);
}
})
})
});
I just looked for a "nextSibling" style analouge in jQuery. Would it be
more benificial to change the node I am getting out of the XML file and grab
both its children? or is this method ok?. Which one would be faster?
Selecting two children? or selecting siblings?
Thanks,
