Importing of XML via ajax call doesn't work

[premghinde]

$(function(){
$.ajax({
url: 'http://api.jquery.com/api/',
dataType: 'xml',
success: function(x){
console.log($(x).find('entry'));
}
});
});

My guess is that 'x' is treated as a string and not passed into the success callback as XML.

Apologies, I completely forgot to pass the response through the parseXML function I'd created. :(

I get a cross domain issue when I try to test this. Are you running the XML locally?

[imaffett]

Haha...no problem, is it ok if I close this?

[premghinde]

Yes, sorry, I've pulled down a local copy of the file.

Is it worth adding the parse function into the library? It's a simple one.

function parseXml(xmlStr) {
return ( new window.DOMParser() ).parseFromString(xmlStr, "text/xml");
}

We will consider this for the 1.0 release. I'm guessing you want it to automatically parse text/xml repsonses too ;)

Thanks for the code snippet.
