I'm having some real difficulty figuring out how to manipulate xml data with jquery. Here is my situation. I have a hidden TextArea that contains xml data, something like this:
<items> <item value='1' text='x'></item> <item value='2' text='y'></item> </items> So, let's say I want to remove the item with value='1'. 1) I grab the value of the textarea: var xml = $("#" + id).val(); 2) I then find the node and remove it: $(xml).find("item[value='123']").remove(); Problem is, it doesn't remove anything! It finds the node just fine, but the remove() function doesn't seem like it is doing anything. I've tried looping through eacy item $('item',xml).each(function.... ); and then calling remove(); but that does not work either. Any help on how to manipulate xml data correctly? Thank you. Bryan
