I'd like to keep up with the new jquery release and abandon my xpath code for parsing xml, but I haven't seen anything that will do what i need. Here's an example of what i did with xpath:
//xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0"> <Document> <Folder> <name>Final_Label_geom</name> <open>1</open> <Placemark> <Style> <IconStyle> <color>ffc0c0c0</color> </IconStyle> </Style> <Point> <extrude>1</extrude> <coordinates>-77.988788,30.779793,0.000000 </coordinates> </Point> </Placemark> <Placemark> <Style> <LineStyle> <color>ff000000</color> <width>1</width> </LineStyle> </Style> <LineString> <tessellate>1</tessellate> <extrude>1</extrude> <coordinates>-96.621063,33.166782,0.000000 -101.993915,34.013136,0.000000 </coordinates> </LineString> </Placemark> as you can see, each placemark can contain different types of tags, so i need to just be able to access the coordinates by giving different paths like: for (var j=0; j<placemarks.length/3; j++) { var coords = $('Document/Folder:eq('+1+')/Placemark:eq('+j+')/ LineString/coordinates', xml).text(); etc... is there any good way to do this?
