Question

I have following piece of code which tries to load an XML file from web.

$.ajax({
    url: 'http://www.kumarchetan.com/blog/feed/',
    success: function(xhrresponse){
        $('#container').html(xhrresponse);//does nothing
        navigator.notification.alert("Data Loaded: " + typeof xhrresponse);//tells me its an object
    },
    error: function(){
        navigator.notification.alert("PC LOAD LETTER");
    }
});

I tried using $.get() as well but it didnt work. I replaced this code with following

$('#hiddenContainer').load('http://www.kumarchetan.com/blog/feed/');

And it works like charm. The server that hosts XML files doesn’t have anything special done at server side.

EDIT
I tried adding dataType:'xml' as well, it doesn’t work.

Answer 1

Realised that I had to add a timeout of 5 seconds before I start using the XML response.
