Sure could use some help on this one. Does anyone on the list have any clue why the .text() function works differently between FF and IE7? I've submitted this question for over a week now, and had no suggestions at all.

Is there anything else I need to provide so that someone might take an interest in this issue? I would post a web site where I have the scripts, but where I work I don't have access to an external public web site. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help. I have also included the web browser output from FF 3.5.2, and IE7 at the bottom of the email. Doug (snip) All, I'm new to jQuery, but not JavaScript. I have the following really simple html file with jQuery-based JavaScript to open, read and display part of an xml file. It works fine on FF 3.5.2, but does not work on IE7. Am I missing something really simple to make jQuery work on IE7? Any help would be great, thanks!
