find doesn't work in IE but works fine in Firefox

[ericerau]

var s = "<Orders>" +

" <Order>" + " <OrderNo>12345</OrderNo>" + " <Path>this is the path value</Path>" + " <Base64>asdfasdfasdf.....sgdfgsdfg</Base64>" + " </Order>" + "</Order>";

alert($(s).find('Path').text())

This doesn't work in IE, but works fine in firefox. The code has been modified to do the test. In reality I didn't build the xml string like that. It was the result of a web service call. I considered a blocker because it makes the application unusable for Ajax. I have a post for this on experts exchange, check it out here:

Can you please provide a test case ? that is, a small html file with the minimum html/css/js necessary to reproduce the problem. Thanks

Isn't it related to this: ​http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_frm/thread/95718c9aab2c7483/af37adcb54b816c3?lnk=gst&q=parsexml#af37adcb54b816c3 ?

Yes, most likely IE is not happy trying to parse XML with its tag-soup parser. Try using the technique in the link above and reopen the ticket if a proper XML parser doesn't fix the issue.
