[jQuery] Re: Reading HTML from XML

[Ⓙⓐⓚⓔ]

I don't agree....

when I want to pull html out of an ajax response I use : jQuery.xml as I
would use jQuery.html()... if html() actually worked.

$.fn.xml = function () {return $.xml(this[0])}
$.xml = function(xml) { // dump the xml back to html text
   if (!xml) return ""
   var res = ""
   var tag = xml.nodeName
   var showTheTag = tag.charAt(0) != "#"
   if (showTheTag) res += '<' + tag
   if (xml.hasAttributes()) {
       var attrs = xml.attributes
       for (var i = 0; i < attrs.length; i++){
           var attr=attrs[i]
           if (attr.specified) res +=' ' + attr.name + '="' + attr.value +
'"'
       }
   }
   if (showTheTag) res+= ">"
   if (xml.nodeType == 8){
       res += "<!-- " + xml.nodeValue + " -->"
   } else if (xml.nodeValue != null){
       res +=  xml.nodeValue.replace(/\&/g,"&amp;").replace(/\</g,"&lt;")
   }
   if (xml.hasChildNodes()) {
       var children = xml.childNodes
       for (var i = 0; i < children.length; i++){
           var child = children[i]
           res += $.xml(child)
       }
   }
   if (showTheTag)  res += '</' + tag + '>'
   return res
}

I second Rob's suggestion, this is what I am doing on a few current
