I have below string in javascript

var output = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><abc><xyz><xyzResponse><URL>http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2Fnet%2Fxyz.do%3Fpartner%3Ddummy%26id%3Dba0e245f-ae67-40b6-986d-3242acea4c04</URL><StatusMsg>SUCCESS</StatusMsg><ID>hello.com</ID><AID>test</AID></xyzResponse></xyz></abc>';

I want to parse this as xml and get values out of it.

I have tried below code

var xmlObj = $(output);
alert(xmlObj.find('URL').text())

It works in FireFox but does not work in IE. It does not give any error but does not show any content.

How to read xml that is string format and use content using javascript across the browsers?

Any help is appreciated.

    jQuery’s $() function doesn’t parse XML: it treats it as HTML and inserts it into the HTML DOM, which doesn’t work in general. If you’re using jQuery 1.5, you can use its new parseXML() method:

    var xmlObj = $.parseXML(output);
alert( $(xmlObj).find('URL').text() );

    If you can’t use jQuery 1.5, you’ll need an XML parsing function such as the one I posted here: Strange jQuery XML problem
