[jQuery] Localization and using JQuery

daSMC Tue, 18 Sep 2007 12:32:05 -0700

I have an idea to get a mockup of a new site working in 2 languages
WITHOUT being connected to a relational database. So my idea is to
have an xml file with custom tags, a version for the English language
and a version with the Japanese language.


Can I use JQuery to traverse an xml document in the same directory and
find the custom tag, grab the innertext and replace it in the html (or
add it)?

Can I get some sample code?

Would this be too slow for production but good for a mockup site?

Here is an example of the xml data.

<xml doc>
