Thanks for the quick response.  Too bad the
Firefox behavior isn't what is supposed
to happen...

jQuery doesn't officialy support XML parsing, it just happens to
'happen' :)

Try $(xml).contents().filter('url') instead, might work.

 To be more explicit, here is the relevant code:

                 alert(result);
         }
         catch (ex) {
                 alert(ex);
         }

 }

 In the above code the alert(xml) call shows
 the string described in my previous post.  The xml
 string is being passed in correctly.

 However, the alert(result) call shows that the result
 variable is empty, even after the assignment.

 In addition, IE7 has this same problem.  (I
 originally noticed this problem in IE6.)

 In Firefox, everthing works fine.  The alert(result)
 call shows that result is assigned the text
 between the url/url tags as expected.

 Again, any help with this problem is greatly
 appreciated.
