I can't persuade jQuery to match elements using class selectors on xml
document objects retrieved via $.ajax.
In the following, I run four tests: two expressions with two different
methods of creating xml. The first method is just to parse a raw string
with jQuery. The second method obtains the xml through $.ajax. In both
cases, the XML document is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><doc><foo
class="fooclass"></foo></doc>
The expressions are basic tag selection $('foo') and class selection
$('foo.fooclass'). For each test, I just report the size of the returned
jQuery array. I'd expect to get four alerts: '1','1','1','1'. Instead I
get '1','1','1','0', which indicates that for the $.ajax case, the simple
tag selector works, but the class selector does not.
Any ideas as to what may be the problem?
---------------
var testxml =
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><doc><foo
class="fooclass"></foo></doc>';
function test(expr) {
alert($(expr, $(testxml)).size());
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
dataType: "xml",
url: "test.xml",
success: function(xml) {
alert($(expr,xml).size());
}
});
}
function testboth() {
test('foo');
test('foo.fooclass');
}
$(document).ready(testboth);
