Get nested item from XML with jQuery
- by Dkong
I've looked at some examples on the web but I am still struggling with this.
I would like to get the value for "descShort" tag within the "indexDesc" tag and then after that display the value from the "last" tag? I've seen people using the arrow but I'm still lost.
