We were running into a similar problem with an AJAX application and here is what we did to get around namespaces:
jQuery(entries).find("[...@nodename=namespace:elementName]");

google Chrome (WebKit), I have to write "tag" or "attribute" and it
works.
Has this problem been solved, or is there any plugin to deal with
it?.
It is veri tedious to code a parsing case for each browser (IE, FF,
Webkit, etc..)
AFAIK, this problem has not been solved yet, jQuery does not handle
namespaces at all. The ns\\:field is more of a hack and does not work in IE
when parsing to XML (through the AJAX option dataType: "xml").
What you might want to try is removing the dataType option (so that it is
passed as a string), then replace the : character with something else (e.g.
a dash). This way the XML parser will leave the namespaces alone.
Please note that I have not tried this, it's based on the things I have
read about it.
