Question

my code for html is this

 <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript">
 if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
 {
     xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
 } else {
     xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
 }

 xmlhttp.open("GET","brands.xml",false);
 xmlhttp.send();
 theXmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML; 
 function fillForm(){
     $(theXmlDoc).find('table[name=brands]').each(function(){
         alert($(this));//doesn't fire when brands.xml contains more than one entry of <table name="brands"> else shows Object object
     });

My brands.xml is

  <table name="brands">
        <column name="BrandID">1</column>
        <column name="BrandName">AX</column>
        <column name="CompanyInfo">FDC</column>
        <column name="Composition">Cap</column>
 </table>
 <table name="brands">
        <column name="BrandID">2</column>
        <column name="BrandName">UP</column>
        <column name="CompanyInfo">Tor</column>
        <column name="Composition">Asp</column>
 </table>

when brands.xml contains single entry of <table name="brands"> alert shows Object object but when i include more than one table name as shown above each is not getting executed.

Answer 1

Your XML will need to be wrapped by a single node:

<tables>
    <table name="brands">
        <column name="BrandID">1</column>
        <column name="BrandName">AX</column>
        <column name="CompanyInfo">FDC</column>
        <column name="Composition">Cap</column>
    </table>
    <table name="brands">
        <column name="BrandID">2</column>
        <column name="BrandName">UP</column>
        <column name="CompanyInfo">Tor</column>
        <column name="Composition">Asp</column>
    </table>
</tables>

And you’ll need to adjust your JavaScript accordingly so select inside this wrapping node.
