[jQuery] traversing xml

[Alexandre Plennevaux]

Hello again,

i'm banging my head on this issue:

I'm using a function to search through a small bit xml. It works more or less 
except that the returned value is not correct.

Here is my function:

    function findAnchor(projectName,scape, xml){
        var myscape = $("scape[title='" + scape + "']", xml.responseText);
        var myItem = $('item[title="' + projectName + '"]', myscape);
                var myCol  = $(myItem).parent();
                myVal = $(myCol).attr('title');
        $.log("dsanchor for " + projectName + " in scape:" + UI.sortBy + "=" + 
myVal);
        return myVal;
    }


    The xml file is herebelow. Now, if i try :  var dsAnchorVar = 
findAnchor('test-release','time', xml);

    it returns "time", whereas it should return "2007".  Can you tell me why ? 
It seems to me the .parent(); selector does not function...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<datascapes>
        <scape title="title">
                <col title="L">
                        <item title="liquidspace" />
                        <item title="liquidspace01" />
                </col>
                <col title="S">
                        <item title="space-navigable-music" />
                </col>
                <col title="T">
                        <item title="test-release" />
                        <item title="touch" />

                </col>
        </scape>
        <scape title="time">
                <col title="2004">

                        <item title="liquidspace02" />
                </col>
                <col title="2007">
                        <item title="liquidspace03" />
                </col>
                <col title="2000">
                        <item title="space-navigable-music" />
                </col>
                <col title="2007">
                        <item title="test-release" />
                </col>
                <col title="2006">
                        <item title="touch" />
                </col>
        </scape>
