XML to javascript array with jQuery

Question

I am new to XML and AJAX and am only a newcomer to Javascript and jQuery. Among other job duties I design our website. A deadline is very near, and the only way I can think

Answer 1

Using jQuery, $.ajax() your XML file, and on success pass retrieved data with each, like:

 var tmpSubject, tmpDate, tmpThumb;
 $.ajax({
            url: '/your_file.xml',
            type: 'GET', 
            dataType: 'xml',
            success: function(returnedXMLResponse){
                $('item', returnedXMLResponse).each(function(){
                     tmpSubject = $('subject', this).text();
                     tmpDate = $('date', this).text();
                     tmpThumb = $('thumb', this).text();
                    //Here you can do anything you want with those temporary
                    //variables, e.g. put them in some place in your html document
                    //or store them in an associative array
                })
            }  
        });
