[jQuery] namespaces XML parsing

[jQuery] namespaces XML parsing


I have had a look at jQuery mailinglist and I have googled, and I have
not found a solution to this problem.
For example, in FF, if a look for a tag, I have to write "ns\\:tag" ,
but if a look for an attribute I have to write "ns:attribute". In
google Chrome (WebKit), I have to write "tag" or "attribute" and it
works.
Has this problem been solved, or is there any plugin to deal with it?
It is veri tedious to code a parsing case for each browser (IE, FF,
Webkit, etc..)
Thanks in advanced.
