hi, I am having an issue with parsing XML with JQuery when there is a node with an option node
<preferences><dashboard>
<report id="si_pg_vw" order="0">
  <header>
    <data>
      <option type="reportname" value="Page View"/>
    </data>
  </header>
</report>
the following code in firebug returns no children
$reportElement.find("data")[0]
however if I change option to any other value ("option2", "test" etc) then the line above returns one child which is correct.
Am I mising something or is there a bug?
Thanks
John
