Hello,

 

I need help finding an XML node by its attribute. Once I find the correct node I want to retrieve the second attribute in that same node.

 

Can anyone point me in a direction?

 

[code]

var glossaryObj = {};

$.get(pURL, function(xmlFile)
{
 $.ajax({
  type: "GET",
  url: pURL,
  dataType: "text",
  success: parseGlossXML
  });
});

function parseGlossXML(xml)
{
 glossaryObj = xml
 $(glossaryObj).find('term').each(function(){
  alert($(glossaryObj).filter(":first").attr('def'));
 });
}

[/code]

 

This is a sample of my XML file, it is not the entire file.

[code]

<item term="AAA" def="Not the American Automobile Association" rollover="Anti-aircraft Artillery" />

<item term="ABCCC" def="Airborne Battlefield Command and Control Center" />

<item term="ABP" def="Air Battle Plan" />

<item term="AC" def="Active Component" />

[/code]
