The .text function does not work ok on all cases. For example for the dom corresponfing to the xml:

<image>

<filename>img.jpg</filename>

</image>

the current implementation of .text function will fail to return the img.jpg text. It works if I replace the line

jQuery.fn.text(e[j].childNodes[i].childNodes);

with:

jQuery.fn.text([e[j].childNodes[i]]);
