JQuery - iterate over all xml tags

Question

how to iterate over all tags in xml

I have php that generates xmls like the following

<register> <name>peter</name> <age>12</age> </register> <register> <name>mary</name> <age>20</age> </register> 

so i get this xml (this works fine)

 $.ajax({success: function(xml) { $(xml).find('register').each (function() { alert($(this).find('name').text()) // works fine, shows peter then mary on the next loop of "each" // But if i dont know the tag names (name,age) for each register ? // Something like $(this).nodes().each .... // alert($(this).tagName); // i wanna show "name" & "age", how can i get the tag names inside each register in my xml sample tree? }); }}); 

Answer 1

You want to look at the children() function, among other things. For more information on features, see the jQuery workaround .

Answer 2

This link is a good example of using iteration through xml

 xml.find('result').find('permissionDetails').each(function(){ $(this).children().each(function(){ var tagName=this.tagName; var val=$(this).text(); if(val==1){ $('input:checkbox[name='+tagName+']').attr('checked',true); } else if(val==0){ $('input:checkbox[name='+tagName+']').removeAttr('checked'); } }) });
