[jQuery] .text() gets nothing in IE

[jQuery] .text() gets nothing in IE


Having the following code:
var xml="<status><connected>true</connected></status>";
var r = $("connected",xml).text();
alert('got it: '+r);
This code gets "true" in FF but prints nothing in IE.
Please help. Or give me another way how to get "true" value from XML
string in IE.
I have no idea how to make it work.
Thank you.
