I hope this doesn't come through as a double post, I posted already
and it hasn't shown up yet.
I have an XML document that is returned which has an element named
html. Inside of that element is a block of HTML wrapped with CDATA
tags. I can alert the html variable that i create and see it has all
of the data inside of it. So I want to parse through and grab certain
things now. I'm just trying to get the element to return it's id to
me, even though I know it ... because I kept getting the following
error. I still continue to get this error with the current code below.
Error:
Syntax error, unrecognized expression: >
Code:
$.ajax({
url: "http://www.mysite.com/response.xml";,
type: "GET",
dataType: "xml",
success: function (xml) {
html = $.trim($(xml).find("html").text());
alert($("#mydiv", html).attr("id"));
},
error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert("textStatus: " + textStatus);
alert("errorThrown: " + errorThrown);
}
});
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response>
<html><![CDATA[<div id="mydiv">blah blah stuff in here<img
src="myimage.png"></div>
]]></html>
</response>
