[jQuery] rewriting generic ajax jQuery style

[jQuery] rewriting generic ajax jQuery style

Ok, here's another question.... I've got this code working:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#resultcontainer').accordion();
                $("dt").click(function(){
                    idsource = $(this).attr("id");
                    $.ajax({
                     type: "GET",
                     url: "getItems.php",
                     data: {cat_id: idsource},
                     dataType: "xml",
                     success: function(xml){
                     //build a table from xml results.
                     var output = '<table><thead><tr><th>Items Available</th></tr></thead><tbody>';
                     //create rows for each result.
                     $("item_id", xml).each(
                     function() {
                                var linkId = $(this).text();
                     output += '<tr>';
                                output += '<td>'+$(this).text()+'</td>';
                     output += '<td><a href="itemdetail.php?item_id='+linkId+'" >'+$(this).siblings().text()+'</a></td>';
                     output += '</tr>';
                     }
                     )
                     output += '</tbody></table>';
                     $('#itemtable'+idsource).html(output);
                     }
                    })
                })
                });
I just looked for a "nextSibling" style analouge in jQuery. Would it be more benificial to change the node I am getting out of the XML file and grab both its children? or is this method ok?. Which one would be faster? Selecting two children? or selecting siblings?
Thanks,
-Jim
