[jQuery] parsing xml

[jQuery] parsing xml


my xml looks something like:
<response>
<message>
<bio>the bio</bio>
    <voted>the votes</voted>
</message>
<message>
<bio>another bio</bio>
    <voted>likewise, another vote</voted>
</message>
</response>
I'm new to jquery. I'd like to place these in an array so I can access
votes/bio easily and separately. at the moment, jquery is returning it
like this: "the bioanother bio" . Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
