Where do you define "datascape.anchors"?
You use it as the context for this line, but you don't seem to have
defined it anywhere.
var thisDS = $('scape[title="'+UI.section+'"]', datascape.anchors);
Also, your jquery call is returning the jQuery version of the XML to
nowhere.
All you need to do is put the processing within the ajax call:
datascape.getAllAnchors = function(){
$.get("projects/datascapes.xml",function(){
datascape.anchors = $(data);
var thisDS = $('scape[title="'+UI.section+'"]',
datascape.anchors);
var dsAnchorVar = $('item[title="' + $proj +
'"]',thisDS).parents('col').attr('title');
$.log("anchor "+$proj+"= "+ dsAnchorVar );
});
}
