XML parsing using jQuery

Question

I have the following xml:

Answer 1

This code works for me in Safari and (surprisingly) Firefox:

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "list.xml",
    dataType: "xml",
    success: function(xml) {
  $(xml).find('Scenes').each(function(){
      $(this).find('Scene').each(function(){
          var name = $(this).attr('Name');                            
          $('
').html('
'+name+'
').appendTo('#page-wrap'); 
             });                     
         });
    },
    error:function(a,b,c) { console.log( c ) }
});

The reason it doesn't work in some browsers is likely due to the fact that you're hosting from the filesystem (assuming you are). Chrome and Firefox tend to give trouble when accessing the filesystem via AJAX request due to Same Origin Policy.

The javascript is fine. You're just either getting an empty response, or an error.
