[jQuery] xml parsing

[jQuery] xml parsing


I have been reading through the group but I can't find exactly what I
am looking for.
I am using jquery get to process an xml file and am wonder about a few
things.
1. How do I get the function to use the data I pass in, in this case
name:"yyy"
2. the code below works in FF but IE7 returns a blank for the text. Is
there a better way to do this.
Here is my code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$.get("films.xml", { name: "yyy" }, function(xml) {
var theXML = xml;
var theName=$(theXML).find("name:contains('x')");
alert(theName.text());
} );
Thanks.
