[jQuery] Re: Querying XML with jQuery in IE6

ok, I find that I can get the json element very easy but still haven't found a way to get the attribute name.
$("Test", data).each(function(i){
     console.log($("[@name]", this).text()); // does not work.
     console.log($("json", this).text());  // does work
});
I have tried with the following queries: /Test[@name]
                                                       /Test@name
                                                       Test@name
                                                       .@name

Is this jQuery not supporting attribute selectors or is my xpath wrong?

thanks in advance, jon.

Hi all.

I'm trying to get some values from an XML document in jQuery but lack of a (good) debugger in IE6 means that I can't figure this out.
The XML is simple:
XML:
                             <Tests>
                                 <Test name="Help">
                                     <json><![CDATA[help.json]]></json>
                                </Test>
                                <Test name="telia-big-box">
                                     <json><![CDATA[telia-big-box.json]]></json>
                                </Test>
                            </Tests>

I get it through jQuery.get and the document is in the variable data:
$("Test", data).each(function(i){
    alert(this.childNodes[0].textContent);
    /*toc.append(
        tc.li(
            testLink(this.childNodes[1].textContent, this.attributes[0].nodeValue)
        )
    );*/
});

The commented bit works in FF3 and I have found that it's the childNodes of the Test element that differs. Is there a safer way to query an XML document with jQuery, so I don't run into these abnormalties between browsers?

Thanks in advance, Jon.
