[jQuery] Re: xml parsing - what am i doing wrong?

[Alexandre Plennevaux]

ok this beats me, i' m about to smatch the PC can you let me know what i'm 
missing ?

i 've got my xml search function working:

function findAnchor(projectName, xml){
        var myscape = $("scape[title='" + UI.sortBy + "']", xml.responseText);
        var myItem = myscape.find('item[title="' + projectName + '"]');
                var myCol  = myItem.parent();
                myVal = myCol.attr('title');
        $.log("dsanchor for " + projectName + " in scape:" + UI.sortBy + "=" + 
myVal);
        return myVal;
    }


   but i must be doing wrong in traversing, because, say UI.sortBy='time', 
projectName='test-release'  it keeps on returning myVal='title' when it should 
be '2007', why ???

    here is the xml 'im loading...
