I haven't really worked with XML before, but I can't see storing it in a
textarea actually working.
As I understand your code you have this
<textarea>
<items>
<item value='1' text='x'></item>
<item value='2' text='y'></item>
</items>
</textarea>
You then put
<items>
<item value='1' text='x'></item>
<item value='2' text='y'></item>
</items>
into the var 'xml'
This is now stored as a string
As far as I know you cannot use find on a string
I don't think this method will work, as far as I know you need to pull in the
xml through ajax, and define it's dataType as xml.
You could try something like this
|$(function() {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "items.xml",
dataType: "xml",
success: function(xml) {
$(xml).find('|item[value='123']|').remove();
}
});
});

Like I said though, I've not worked with XML before.

I don't have an option to remove it from the textarea at the moment.
Is there a better way to storing and generating xml data on the fly?

take it out of the textarea, right now it's not XML data but random text.

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.
