I try to read data from an XML file called by ajax:

2. function sendFrm(){
3. $.ajax({  
4.             type: "POST",  
5.             url: "jqueryServer.asp",  
6.             data: "firstName="+ obj('firstName'),  
7.     dataType: "xml",
8.             success: readXML
9.   });
10. }

Ithe server send me this XML:

1. <?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
2. <root>
3.       <vars>
4.             <firstName>MyName</firstName>
5.       </vars>
6. </root>

So I read the XML in this way:

2. function readXML(xml){
3. $(xml).find('vars').each(function(){
4.                          var f = $(this).find('firstName').text();
5.                          alert(f);
6.                         }); }

Why the alert shows as response "objectHTMLInputElement" instead of " MyName " ?

Thanks
