[jQuery] xml parsing - what am i doing wrong?

[Alexandre Plennevaux]

Hello,

i'm loading a bit of xml and i'm trying to use the loaded data, but i 'm 
unsuccessful traversing it so far. Can you tell me what i'm doing wrong?


here is the loading code:

datascape.getAllAnchors = function(){
    $.get("projects/datascapes.xml",function(data){
        return $(data);
    });
}

then further down, i need to retrieve an item's parent  col element "title" 
attribute.


jQuery(function($){

...


        var thisDS = $('scape[title="'+UI.section+'"]', datascape.anchors);
        var dsAnchorVar = $('item[title="' + $proj + 
'"]',thisDS).parents('col').attr('title');
        $.log("anchor "+$proj+"= "+ dsAnchorVar );

});


the console keeps on showing dsAnchorVar as "undefined"


the xml file:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<datascapes>
        <scape title="title">
                <col title="E">
                        <item title="electric_courtship_songs" />
                </col>
                <col title="L">
                        <item title="liquidspace" />
                        <item title="liquidspace01" />
                        <item title="liquidspace02" />
                        <item title="liquidspace03" />
                </col>
                <col title="S">
                        <item title="space-navigable-music" />
                </col>
        </scape>
        <scape title="time">
                <col title="2004">
                        <item title="electric_courtship_songs" />
                </col>
                <col title="2003">
                        <item title="liquidspace" />
                        <item title="liquidspace01" />
                </col>

        </scape>
</datascapes>



Thanks for any help,

Alexandre
