title tag ignored in xml

[surangini]

If an xml has a title tag, jquery ignores it while navigating through it.

var val = '<values><title>some title value</title><rightscode>G</rightscode><rights>Rights value</rights></values>';

val is an example else its a valid xml.

$.each($(val).children(), function(){

alert('ret: ' + $(this).text() + ' node: ' + this.tagName );

});

Everything get's printed well except title tag. No matter where title tag exists in the xml.

$(htmlstring) parses html using the browser's html parser. jQuery cannot determine that the string you gave is xml. If you parse a string with an xml parser you can pass that to $() and jQuery can process it.
