[jQuery] Reading XML elements with CDATA
Apologies if this has been asked before. I couldn't find any topics
on this when I searched.
I have some XML which looks like the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<response>
<status>1</status>
<html><![CDATA[
<tr>
<td>Row 1, Column 1</td>
<td>Row 1, Column 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Row 2, Column 1</td>
<td>Row 2, Column 2</td>
</tr>
]]></html>
</response>
I'd like to be able to read the html in javascript with something like
this:
$.post("test.xml",
function(xml)
{
new_html = $("html", xml).text();
// Do something with the new html....
});
However if the XML element is using CDATA, $("html", xml).text()
always returns the empty string. Is this a known issue? Is this a
limitation of jQuery? Is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Russ
