[CraniumDesigns]

hey folks,

please look at the code and tell me why the parsed xml is not being appended inside the web portfolio area. i am new to jquery and can't figure this out. thanks

jQuery(function( $ ){
 
            //xml parsing for portfolio
            $.ajax({ 
                type: "GET",
                url: "port_web.xml",
                dataType: "xml",
                success: function(xml) {
 
                    var _name = "";
                    var _url = "";
                    var _image = "";
                    var _desc = "";
 
                    $("/portfolio/job", xml).each(function(){
 
                        _name = $("name", this).text();
                        _url = $("url", this).text();
                        _image = $("image", this).text();
                        _desc = $("desc", this).text();
 
                        $("#tabPortfolioWeb ul").append("Name: " + _name + "<br />Description: " + _desc);            
 
                    });
                }
            });
        });

Hi.
It's better off you post also your xml file.
May be

Bye.

nevermind. i fixed it anyways. figure out it was an xpath issue cuz its not included with the newer versions of jquery.

ok, so everything was working fine locally on my computer, and i go to upload it, and now none of the xml data is parsing. i uploaded the exact structure! what's going on?

Firefox's error console tells me that you are using those weird ms quotes.

<?xml version=&#226;€1.0&#226;€&#179; encoding=&#226;€utf-8&#226;€&#179; ?>
