Question

Developers!

I’m having some trouble understanding the rss feed enclosure tag..
Here you got the relevant code:

$(document).ready(function(){


    $('#btnHentRss').click(function(){
        fyllNyheter();
    });

});

    function fyllNyheter(){

        var url = $('#feedListe').val();

            $.getFeed({
                url: "getRSS.php?url=" + url,
                success: function(feed){
                     parseXML(feed);
            },
            error: function(){
                $('#sectId').html("<p>Something went wrong</p>");
            },
            complete: function(){

            }
        });

}
 function parseXML(feed){

       $.each(feed.items, function(i, item){
                var tittel = item.title;
                var beskrivelse = item.description;
                var url= $(item).find("enclosure['url']");

                $('#sectId').append("<img src='" + media + "' />");
            }); 
}

Example of the xml:

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" xmlns:admin="http://webns.net/mvcb/">

<enclosure url="http://www.nrk.no/contentfile/imagecrop/1.6102705?cropid=f169w225" type="image/jpeg"/>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>

var tittel returns the correct title of each item(So I know I got contact with the feed).

var url only returns [Object object].

I’m using jFeed. See the jFeed php and js here: http://jsfiddle.net/zbuNW/

What am I supposed to do? My google searches has turned purple, I don’t want to use another plugin, and I want to do it in javascript/jquery.

Thanks for even reading my problem 🙂 Happy problem solving!

REVISED Answer after xml was posted:

url is an attribute of the enclosure tag

Use:

var url =  $(item).find("enclosure").attr('url')
