Trying to show text from an XML file

Trying to show text from an XML file

Hello,

I am trying to populate an array with terms from an XML file but I can't seem to get it going. The alerts below do not show any information or text from the XML file. Is this not storing the entire XML element? Later I will need to index with the 'term' attribute and return one of the other attributes.

  1. $(document).ready(function() 
          {
            var glossArray = [];
            $.get('glossary/glossary_data.xml', function(d){
                $(d).find('item').each(function(){ 
                glossArray.push($(this).val());
                alert($(this).val());
                //alert("In the get xml function");
            });
                alert("In the get xml function " + glossArray[2]);
        }); 
    });











  1. <glossary>

    <!-- A -->

    <item term="AAA" def="Not the American Automobile Association" rollover="A is A for A" />


    <item term="ABCCC" def="A, B,C,C and C" />







  3. <item term="DD" def="Drunk Driving" />

    </glossary>
