Question

I managed to sendIQ and get the response from openfire server.

Now I can’t traverse the response for my purposes:

There is a “find” method to search for nodes like “list”, “other1”, but I need to traverse all the types of nodes containing in the “list”. IQ-response looks like the following:

 <iq type="get" id="sid_225">
   <list xmlns="urn:xmpp:archive" end="2012-04-30T22:00:00Z" start="2012-03-31T22:00:00Z">
     <set xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/rsm">
      <max>30</max>
     </set>
     <other1> asdf </other1>
     <othern> aasdf </othern>
   </list>
</iq> 

I need all the node types of the “list”. I got so far:

$(iq).find("list").children().each(function () {
  alert($(this).text());
}

But this gives me the text like “asdf” from the different types of nodes like “other1” and “othern”. How can I get the types of the nodes (i.e. “set”, “other1”) ? I also tried $(this).val()) but it doesn’t work either.

Please help….

Thanks!

You can get the nodeName of each element inside your loop:

$(iq).find("list").children().each(function () {
  alert(this.nodeName + ' = ' + $(this).text());
});

You can access these variables inside the loop like above for each index in the array/object.

Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/7AKL6/2/

Documentation for .each(): http://api.jquery.com/each/

Documentation for Node.nodeName: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Document_Object_Model_(DOM)/Node.nodeName

Also note that your XML example has an error in it:

<other1> asdf </other>

should be:

<other1> asdf </other1>

to properly close itself.
