Parsing XML with jQuery... problem retrieving elements
- by Don
An XML snippet:
<results>
<review>
<api_detail_url>http://api.giantbomb.com/review/1/</api_detail_url>
<game>
<api_detail_url>http://api.giantbomb.com/game/20462/</api_detail_url>
<id>20462</id>
<name>SingStar</name>
</game>
<score>4</score>
</review>
</results>
And here's my testing code, just to show whether data is being collected or not ('data' holds the XML):
var element;
$(data).find('review').each(function() {
element = $(this).find('name').text();
});
alert(element);
Now here's the problem, only this query actually returns data:
$(this).find('score').text();
The alert box in this case would pop up with '4'. These two other queries don't return anything (the alert box is blank):
$(this).find('api_detail_url').text();
$(this).find('name').text();
I've tried using jQuery selectors, like...
$(this).find('game > name').text();
...but that doesn't work, either, still get a blank alert box. Am I missing something? Testing is being done in Chrome.
