[jQuery] Re: jquery code works with firefox but not ie.

I'm a little concerned by this line:
client = $("client",data).get(id);

I'd recommend putting a "var" in front so that you have a local, not a
global, variable.
It also seems to me like $("client",data).get(id) is equivalent to
'this' inside the each.

so instead of: client = $("client",data).get(id);
use: var client = this;

I've never tried to use jQuery with IE and XML data, so I'm not sure
what quirks might be caused by that combination.

I would recommend trying your function without the AJAX call:
var data = insert_your_xml_here;
$("client",data).each(function(id) {
client = $("client",data).get(id);
$("#left_items").append("<li id='"+$
("id",client).text()+"'><a
href='#'>"+$("name",client).text()+"</a></li>");
});

If none of that helps, I'd recommend installing Firebug, and doing
some heavy console logging ( http://getfirebug.com/console.html ),
specifically of the variable 'client'.
