thank you immensely for all your help. I'll start rewriting the accordion code in a day or so. -Jim

Subject: Re: [jQuery] rewriting generic ajax jQuery style 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). - jake On 3/6/07, Jim Wharton < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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?
