AJAX / Jquery XML parse

Question

I try parsing the following type of XML (data from getMembers.php):

<         


        

Answer 1

I think you iterate over members, not names:

success: function(xml) {
                $(xml).find('members').each(function(){
                    $(this).find("name").each(function(){
                        var name = $(this).text();
                        alert(name);
                    });
                });
            }

Or maybe your XML should looks like:

<members>
   <id>3422345</id>
   <name>Bill Gates</name>
</members>
<members>
   <id>232311</id>
   <name>Bob Barker</name>
</members>

This way show names:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "getMembers.php",
        cache: false,
        dataType: "xml",
        success: function(xml) {
            $(xml).find('name').each(function(){
                        var name = $(this).text();
                        alert(name);
            });
        }
    });
});

Just wondering if you successfully parsed that XML data.

The valid XML format is below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<members>
  <member>
   <id>3422345</id>
   <name>Bill Gates</name>
  </member>
  <member>
   <id>232311</id>
   <name>Bob Barker</name>
 </member>
</members>
