[jQuery] Re: Parsing XML using jQuery

[Wallonman]

It seems that the DOM parsed 'on the fly' isn't ready for querying.

When doing something weird like:

var xml = $('Hello World!Bye World!');
$(xml).appendTo("body");

then the

alert($("p").text());  // without context

works !

[jQuery] Parsing XML using jQuery

[Wallonman]

Hi,

Some hours that I don't understand why this basic Xml parsing with
JQuery doesn't work:

$(document).ready(function() {

var xml = 'Hello World!';

alert($("p", xml).text());

});

I get an empty string, instead of the expected Hello World!

I had a look to a similar previous post
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/fc60b77f884e6866/85cbd666774c6780)
, but this didn't help me to get the revelation.
