And I have the following code in my html file:

<script type="text/javascript">
            $(document).ready(function()
            {
            $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "data.xml",
            dataType: "xml",
                   success: function(xml){
                   $(xml).find("Tutorial").each(function()
                                                {

                                $("#output").append($(this).attr("author") + "<br />");
                                                });


                   }
            });
            });

            </script>


            <script type="text/javascript">
                function parseXml(xml)
                {

                    $(xml).find("Tutorial").each(function()
                                                 {
                                                 $("#output").append($(this).attr("author") + "<br />");
                                                 });


                }    
            </script>


</head> 

<body> 
    <div data-role="page">

        <div data-role="header" data-position="fixed">
            <h1>The title</h1>
        </div><!-- /header -->

        <div data-role="content" id="output">

  <--!  XML DATA SUPPOSED TO BE DISPLAYED HERE BUT I GOT NOTHING HERE  -->

        </div><!-- /content -->

        <div data-role="footer" data-position="fixed">
            <h4>The Footer</h4>
        </div><!-- /header -->
    </div><!-- /page -->
</body>

I am using Xcode for the output in the iPhone simulator and its not displaying anything inside the content which is supposed to be displayed.

Where did I do mistake or do I need third-party xml parser ?

Any suggestions would be a great help.
Thanks

    I have found the solution for this and it worked perfectly for me.
    Instead of using

    $(document).ready(function() {

});

    I wrote the following: 

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script>

<script>
$(document).bind("mobileinit", function() {

// AJAX code goes here

});
<script>

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0/jquery.mobile-
1.0.min.js"></script>

    Its important to note that this code should be between the jquery-core and jquery-mobile link as I did above.
