    I have two ideas for you:

    1. I believe some browsers’ xml implementations are case sensitive. make sure your $(xml).find('site') if the xml has <Site> or <SITE> it may not work.

    2. if the sites.xml is a local file, you may have issues loading it with ajax. Try putting it on a webserver as manraj82 suggested
