Question

I am invoking a web service through $.ajax().
onsuccess I am getting an xml document, now the problem is I need to see the contents of the retrieved xmlDocument..

Is there anyway to do that.. ??

Answer 1

Put it to the textarea field as-is

$("#textareaID").val(xmlstr);

or display with html-encoding:

$("#someDivID").text(xmlstr); // jQuery text() function performs html-encoding automatically

Simple demo: http://jsfiddle.net/wKhnF/1/

Note dataType: "text", it is required to process the response contents as a text rather then XML object.
