javascript - Parsing XML JQuery Ajax Response with Namespace

I'm executing a web service call using JQuery and it's ajax function and I'm unable to parse the data coming back. When I alert the data (alert($(data).find("return").text()) its empty. I see the server responding with xml data as outlined below and when I alert(data) I get [object XMLDocument]. Is txt = $(data).find("return").text() valid given my XML structure with a namespace below? I can see the full xml string in firebug. Any ideas?

var txt = $(data).find("ns1:return").text(); works on Chrome and Firefox, but not Safari

index.js:

$(function () {
$.ajax({
                url: url,
                success: function (data) {
                    var ndx = 0,
                        row,
                        **txt = $(data).find("return").text(),**
                        xml = unescape(txt),
                        xmlDoc = $.parseXML(xml),
                        firstrow = $(xmlDoc).find(
                                "results").children(":first");

                    // populate the table based on the results returned by
                    // the web service
                    $("table.results thead").empty();
                    $("table.results tbody").empty();
                    row = $("<tr/>");

                    row.append($("<th/>").text("#").addClass("ndx"));
                    firstrow.children().each(function () {
                        row.append($("<th/>").text(this.nodeName));
                    });
                    row.appendTo($("table.results thead"));

                    $(xmlDoc).find("row").each(function () {
                        row = $("<tr/>");
                        row.append($("<td/>").text(ndx + 1).addClass("ndx"));
                        $(this).children().each(function () {
                            row.append($("<td/>").text($(this).text()));
                        });
                        row.appendTo($("table.results tbody"));
                        ndx++;
                    });

                    // clear the table if no results were returned
                    if (ndx == 0) {
                        // no rows returned
                        $("table.results thead").empty();
                        $("table.results tbody").empty();
                    }

                    statusNotice("Records Returned: " + ndx);
                },
                error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                    // display the error returned by the web service
                    var xmlDoc = $(XMLHttpRequest.responseXML);
                    statusError(xmlDoc.find("Text").text());
                },          
                complete: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus) {
                    // hide the busy dialog
                    $("#busy-dlg").dialog("close");
                }
            });
       });

index.html: Demo

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.layout-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/index.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
//table displaying results from ajax call here
</body>
</html>

XML:

<ns1:executeResponse xmlns:ns1="http://sqlws.test.com">
<ns1:return>
    <results>
        <row>
            <attribute1>value1</attribute1>
            <attribute2>value2</attribute2>
        </row>
        <row>
            <attribute1>value1</attribute1>
            <attribute2>value2</attribute2>
        </row>
    </results>
</ns1:return>
</ns1:executeResponse>

When an element is prefixed by a namespace, you have to also add the namespace:

  • .find('ns1:return') does not work, because : is used by jQuery as pseudo-selectors.
  • .find('ns1:return') does not work either, because a single backslash in a string is used as an escape character. "ns1:return" becomes "ns1:return" which is equal to the previous one.
  • .find('ns1\:return') should be used. The double backslash is used to escape the colon.

It appears that the last solution works fine in IE and Firefox, but not Opera, Chrome or Safari. To get maximum compatibility, use jQuery selectors with, and without fake prefix, ie. "ns1\:return, return" instead of a plain ns1\:return.

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/5BQjv/51/

// For example, this is the result:
var data = '<ns1:executeResponse xmlns:ns1="http://sqlws.test.com">' +
               '<ns1:return>' + 
                   '<results> <row> ... </row> </results>' +
               '</ns1:return>' +
           '</ns1:executeResponse>';

// The very first thing is to parse the string as XML. NOT later!
var $xmlDoc = $($.parseXML(data));

// Then, look for the element with the namespace:
var $txt = $xmlDoc.find('ns1\:return, return');

// No need to use unescape or something, just use DOM manipulation:
// `results` is the immediate child. Don't use .find, but .children
var $firstrow = $txt.children("results").children(":first");

As you may have noticed, I have prefixed some variables with a dollar sign. It's the convention to prefix variables which refer to jQuery objects with a dollar sign, to avoid confusion during/after development.
