hi all,

I'm using jQuery to parse some XML, like so:

function enumOptions(xml) {
   $(xml).find("animal").each(function(){  
       alert($(this).text());
   });
}

enumOptions("<root><animal>cow</animal><animal>squirrel</animal></root>");

This works great. However if I try and look for nodes called "option" then it doesn't work:

function enumOptions(xml) {
   $(xml).find("option").each(function(){  
      alert($(this).text());
   });
}

enumOptions("<root><option>cow</option><option>squirrel</option></root>");

There's no error, just nothing gets alerted, as if the find isn't finding anything. It only does it for nodes called option everything else I tested works ok!

I'm using the current version of jQuery - 1.4.2.

Anyone any idea?

TIA.
