I have a 1 xml file with a different parent node. The node created dynamically.
Here's the sample nodes;
1st content:
<error code ='0'><id>1234</id><message>ERROR PROCESS</message></error>
2nd content
<name>
<lastname>Doe</lastname>
<firstname>John</firstname>
</name>
just to identify the parent node. please help.. ;(
Since JQuery 1.9 you can use the :root selector instead of getting ALL the nodes, so:
$(xml).find(":root")[0];
var xml = "<name><lastname>Doe</lastname><firstname>John</firstname></name>",
xmlDoc = $.parseXML( xml ),
$xml = $( xmlDoc ),
$title = $xml;
console.log($xml.find("*").eq(0));
if you want to get the root node name then you can use the nodeName property
console.log($xml.find("*").eq(0)[0].nodeName);
From the parseXml and contents() documentation:
var xmlDoc = $.parseXML(xml);
var $xml = $(xmlDoc);
alert($xml.contents()[0].nodeName);
When filling xml with your example XML documents, it should show error or name. I know it is not the best jQuery code, but it should give you a nice example to start with.
Use this demo to add other XML document to try it.
