jQuery.parseXML( data ) ExampleTop

Return an XML document created from the parsed string.

In the example below when we press the button the first time we parse some well formed XML to a variable and then convert the variable to a jQuery object. After this we iterate over the xml nodes to print out some fictitious diary entries.

$(function(){
  $('#btn21').one('click', function(){
    var xml = "<xml version='1.0'>" +
    "<week date='01/01/2012 '><day activity='shopping '><loc>London</loc></day></week>" +
    "<week date='02/01/2012 '><day activity='driving '><loc>Cardiff</loc></day></week>" +
    "<week date='03/01/2012 '><day activity='eating '><loc>Glasgow</loc></day></week></xml>",
    xmlDoc = $.parseXML( xml ),
    $xml = $( xmlDoc );
    
    // Print Diary details
    $($xml).find('week').each(function() {
      $('#div17').append($(this).attr('date'));
      $('#div17').append($(this).find('day').attr('activity'));
      $('#div17').append($(this).find('loc').text() + "<br>");
    });
  });
});
