Description

Hi,

I tried my jQuery ajax code (that was working fine in firefox) under IE7.

When trying to get a tag content from my xml answer, I get empty string (NOT in firefox but in IE7).

This is a simple request that returns a <result>blahblah</result> result, and I try to get result with "var result = $('result', data).text();".

Maybe I missed something, but it does not work (but when displaying the response text, I can see it is good - which is normal since it works in FF)

Have you tried...

1. var result = $('result', data).text();

2. http:dev.jquery.com/wiki/Plugins/toXML

>returns a <result>blahblah</result> result

It doesn't include a starting "xml" tag ? if so, that could be it.

Needs more of a test case. What exactly is the 'data' variable? Is it an XML doc or the text string or $(--text string--)? The second two will fail. The first should work. I believe the starting XML tag is optional, but what is the mimetype returned by the web server? In short, this needs a better test case.
