I have regular javascript code and am trying to utilize JQuery just to load and parse an xml file. I have the following:

function loadXml() {
  $(function() {
        $.ajax({
                type: "GET",
                url: "my_file.xml",
                dataType: "xml",
                success: parseXml

        });
    });

}

function parseXml() {
   alert("Parsing...");
}

When calling loadXml I cannot get the callback success function to execute. I am running this all locally and my_file.xml resides in the same directory as this javascript. Any ideas?
