Equand, I think you need to do: $(Data item, xml).size() On 12/6/07, Equand [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: when in the root node of xml file i have only one node with text in it, when i parse this xml using jquery, i' am unable to get the included node... for example Data item name=testtext/item /Data when i try then $(item, Data, xml).size() i will receive 0. why that happens? that's quite illogical... -- Benjamin Sterling http://www.KenzoMedia.com http://www.KenzoHosting.com http://www.benjaminsterling.com

but what's the difference? do i need to write separate parsing functions for one and several items? or i can use $(Data item, xml) selector for both cases?

jQuery only takes two parameters on $(). (the second one is optional) $(expression, context) http://docs.jquery.com/Core/jQuery#expressioncontext so your first attempt had 3 parameters. The last one was ignored. The second one became the context so jQuery was looking for a tag item in the string Data which of course it couldn't find. Maybe what you wanted was $(item,Data, xml) which will return a last of item and Data in one jQuery object. It's a matter of placing the quotes in the right place. One last comment, jQuery can look through XML but can't parse it so: $(dataitemtext/item/data) won't work in IE and is buggy in FF. The xml created by an ajax request should work fine though.
