.find not performing properly on an XML document.

[Tegeril]

If you use this ajax call:

---

var searchstring = "​http://www.99restaurants.com/resources/proxy/KnowWhereProxy.php?state=CT";

$.ajax({

type: "GET", url: searchstring, dataType: "xml", success: function(obj){ onLoadState(obj);}, error:function(msg,x,y){ alert(msg);}

});

---

and then try to parse the resulting XML like this:

---

function onLoadState(data) {

var jLocations = $(data).find("Location"); jLocations.each(function(intLocationIndex) {

do something

});

}

---

jLocations has a length of 1. If you go var jLocations = data.getElementsByTagName("Location");, jLocations has a length of 16, returning all <Location> tags instead of just the first.

This implementation worked with JQuery 1.2.6.

Rather, the .find implementation worked with 1.2.6, getElementsByTagName is the workaround for 1.3.2. Sorry for the lack of clarification.

Can you try with the most recent version?
