[jQuery] Re: Localization and using JQuery

Yes, you can use jQuery to select nodes out of an XML document as you
would out of the HTML DOM.  We are using a similar technique for
client-side i18n in our application.


$("SomeNode", someDoc) returns all the SomeNode elements inside
someDoc.

You may find the XPath plugin to be helpful to navigate the XML DOM:
http://jquery.com/plugins/project/xpath

However, you won't be able to use .text() to update an XML document in
IE or Firefox 3 until this ticket is fixed: http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/1419
