If your question is really “How do I get the class name from an html element?” then try something like this:

var class_main_content = $('.main_content ul').attr("class");

Using $('.main_content ul') will return a jQuery object containing all ul elements that are descendants of elements with the class “main_content”. Calling .attr("class") on that jQuery object will retrieve the class of the first such element.

You can then use that class name in the next statement:

var xml_element_name = $(xml).find(class_main_content).text();

If your xml has an element with a tag name the same as the html element’s class then that xml element’s text will be returned.
