The issue here is that there is no text in the <html> node. The '<'
and '>' are reserved in XML, they create nodes in XML. I haven't
tried this, but you might want to try grabbing the .html() of the
<html> node. If you really want to gab the text you'd have to move
all the way down to the td node and grab that using $('td',
xml).text().
