[jQuery] find() - Weird behavior

[cesare]

Hello,

I am trying to parse the content of a flickr feed like this:

http://www.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?tags=colorful&format=rss_200

whose structure is:

...

<item>
        <title>Morning boats</title>
        <link>http://www.flickr.com/photos/jazoni/484900334/</link>
...

More in detail I want to extract title link and thumbnail of each
item. I exploit the wonderful each() functionality:

$("item").each (
                function() {
                        var titleTag = $(this).find("title")[0];
                        var pictureTitle= titleTag.firstChild.nodeValue;

so far so good, I get 'Morning Boats' as a value.
I would do the same for the link


                        var linkTag = $(this).find("link")[0];
                        var pictureUrl = linkTag.firstChild.nodeValue;

but it doesn't work.

Experimenting I solved with a:

                        var pictureUrl =
linkTag.nextSibling.nodeValue;

but to me it is very strange. Isn't it?

Any hint?
