[jQuery] namespaces XML parsing

[jQuery] namespaces XML parsing


I have had alook into jQuery mailinglist and I have googled and I have
seen that there are problems witj jQuery parsing XML (an CSS I've
seen) namespaces.
I have tried and for example, in FF I need to look for "ns\\:tag" to
find a tag, but for example if a look for an attribute I have to do
this "ns:attribute". In Google Chrome (WebKit) it simply works with
"tag" and "attribute".
Has it been solved, as I have seen this problem arose around 2006?
It is a bit complicated to code a case for each web browser (IE, FF,
Webkit, etc.), is there any plugin or tip to sort this out?
Thanks in advanced.
