[jQuery] jquery xml parsing issue

[HelloGoodbye]

hello dear jquery community.
recently i've run into a really strange problem when parsing xml
received via ajax;

XMLstructure:
<resultset>

<html_text>
<![CDATA[
<table class="tborder">
.....
]]>
</html_text>

<event>
...
</event>

</resultset>

the xml file is well structured as i've checked it a couple of times
myself.

now the code:

        $.ajax({type: "POST",
                        url: location,
                        dataType: 'xml',
                        success: function(xml)
                        {
                                alert($(xml).text()) //executes - ok;

                                node = $($('resultset', 
xml).children("html_text").text()); //
still ok;

                                alert ($('resultset', 
xml).children("event").text()); //still
executes and shows the text!!;

                                $('resultset', 
xml).children("event").each(function(){

                                        alert("loop entered") //NEVER executes

})
...
end of code

so what am I doing wrong. the <event> block does exist! so there
should basically be no reason for it not to work.

thanks in advance
