JQuery innerXml element

Question

I have the following simple xml:

<xmldoc> <first><node></node></first> </xmldoc> 

I want to select the given node and get the internal XML text.

 $(xml).find('xmldoc').**OuterXMLFunctionThatNotExists**()="<first><node></node></first>" 

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

var text = $(xml).html();

He works in chrome

EDIT : let xml be a text file, not an XML file, because jquery will treat it as a new html element. (e.g. document.createElement ())

var text = $("<xmldoc> <first><node></node></first> </xmldoc>").html();

Or am I assuming you get it from an ajax call? Then don't set dataType to xml (jQuery) or use XHR.responseText

you get only text, and text can be easily parsed using jQuery.

Answer 2

try it

var text = $(xml).find('xmldoc').text();

Answer 3

Try the following:

  $(xml).find('xmldoc').parent().text();
