[jQuery] Re: filter().find() are not returning elements

2008-11-05 Thread SteveS

One problem is the XML has a syntax error - the Search, but it still
doesn't work. I corrected it below.

  var xml = SearchMyPlaceValue123/Value/MyPlace/Search;
 $(xml).filter(MyPlace).find(Value).each(function() {
 alert(this.value);
  });

Thanks again for anyone's help!

 Hello, I'm still a newbie at jQuery and I'm having some trouble trying
 to select some nodes from XML.  I'm simply trying to display the value
 in the Value element.  For some reason, it returns zero elements.

  var xml = searchMyPlaceValue123/Value/MyPlace/Search;
 $(xml).filter(MyPlace).find(Value).each(function() {
         alert(this.value);
  });

 Also,  I would have thought this would work, but it doesn't:   $
 (xml).filter(MyPlace).children()   Do you know why?

 Thank you in advance for any help!

$(xml).filter('MyPlace') is already returning nothing, you need the
contents() function to parse the string:

$(xml).contents('MyPlace').children()

or

$(xml).contents().filter(MyPlace).children()
