[jQuery] traversing xml

[jQuery] traversing xml


Hello again,
i'm banging my head on this issue:
I'm using a function to search through a small bit xml. It works more or less except that the returned value is not correct.
Here is my function:
function findAnchor(projectName,scape, xml){
var myscape = $("scape[title='" + scape + "']", xml.responseText);
var myItem = $('item[title="' + projectName + '"]', myscape);
        var myCol = $(myItem).parent();
        myVal = $(myCol).attr('title');
$.log("dsanchor for " + projectName + " in scape:" + UI.sortBy + "=" + myVal);
return myVal;
}
The xml file is herebelow. Now, if i try : var dsAnchorVar = findAnchor('test-release','time', xml);
it returns "time", whereas it should return "2007". Can you tell me why ? It seems to me the .parent(); selector does not function...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<datascapes>
    <scape title="title">
        <col title="L">
            <item title="liquidspace" />
            <item title="liquidspace01" />
        </col>
        <col title="S">
            <item title="space-navigable-music" />
        </col>
        <col title="T">
            <item title="test-release" />
            <item title="touch" />
        </col>
    </scape>
    <scape title="time">
        <col title="2004">
            <item title="electric_courtship_songs" />
        </col>
        <col title="2004">
            <item title="liquidspace02" />
        </col>
        <col title="2007">
            <item title="liquidspace03" />
        </col>
        <col title="2000">
            <item title="space-navigable-music" />
        </col>
        <col title="2007">
            <item title="test-release" />
        </col>
        <col title="2006">
            <item title="touch" />
        </col>
    </scape>
</datascapes>
