jquery XML .html() instead of .text() is not displaying?
- by Xtian
I can't seem to figure out this problem. I am trying to get xml to render html tags. The problem I am having using .text() will display but not recognize any html tags. If I use .html() or just call var long2 = $(this).find('long'); nothing will show up in Safari or IE.
I have xml paragraph
I have text in here that needs bold tags or tags which is why i need html tags in the xml to be recognized.
Code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "xml/sites.xml",
dataType: "xml",
success: function(xml) {
$(xml).find('site').each(function(){
var id = $(this).attr('id');
var title = $(this).find('title').text();
var Class = $(this).find('class').text();
$('<div class="'+Class+'" id="link_'+id+'"></div>').html('<p class="title">'+title+'</p>').appendTo('#page-wrap');
$(this).find('desc').each(function(){
var url = $(this).find('url').text();
var long = $(this).find('long').text();
$('<div class="long"></div>').html(long).appendTo('#link_'+id);
$('#link_'+id).append('<a href="http://'+url+'">'+url+'</a>');
var long2 = $(this).find('long');
$('<div class="long2"></div>').html(long2).appendTo('#link_'+id);
});
});
}
});
