I'm trying to convert an xml node into an object...all I want to do is find the name of the tag...function
function initObjArray(xml, arr, tagName){ (xml).find(tagName).each(function(){ var o = new Object(); var t = $(this); var c = t.children(); c.each( function(){ var key = $(this).TAGNAME; var val = $(this).text(); o[key] = val; }); }); } So that: <fruit> <type>apple</type> <color>red</color> </fruit> will be: fruit.type = apple; fruit.color = red;
