[jQuery] xml parsing - what am i doing wrong?
Hello,
i'm loading a bit of xml and i'm trying to use the loaded data, but i 'm unsuccessful traversing it so far. Can you tell me what i'm doing wrong?
here is the loading code:
datascape.getAllAnchors = function(){
$.get("projects/datascapes.xml",function(data){
return $(data);
});
}
then further down, i need to retrieve an item's parent col element "title" attribute.
jQuery(function($){
...
var thisDS = $('scape[title="'+UI.section+'"]', datascape.anchors);
var dsAnchorVar = $('item[title="' + $proj + '"]',thisDS).parents('col').attr('title');
$.log("anchor "+$proj+"= "+ dsAnchorVar );
});
the console keeps on showing dsAnchorVar as "undefined"
the xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<datascapes>
<scape title="title">
<col title="E">
<item title="electric_courtship_songs" />
</col>
<col title="L">
<item title="liquidspace" />
<item title="liquidspace01" />
<item title="liquidspace02" />
<item title="liquidspace03" />
</col>
<col title="S">
<item title="space-navigable-music" />
</col>
</scape>
<scape title="time">
<col title="2004">
<item title="electric_courtship_songs" />
</col>
<col title="2003">
<item title="liquidspace" />
<item title="liquidspace01" />
</col>
</scape>
</datascapes>
Thanks for any help,
Alexandre
