I have a web service which returns the following response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">ba7665f2-4548-4f85-9b23-d8979f000722</string>
Using jQuery I thought I could do something like $(response).find('string').text(); to get the string value from my xml.
However this doesn't work and in fact $(response).find('string').length equals 0.
How can I use javascript to get the string value from this xml?
Assuming you're getting the response text correctly, it's possible you're forgetting to call parseXML before you call find. Take a look at the sample script on this page
I'm assuming you're using $.ajax(), $.post(), or $.get()? If so, try this:
var myString = response.d;
example:
...
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "myURL",
data: "{}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (response) {
var myString = response.d;
}
...
