Hey, this is the code that works perfectly to show all XML Elements:
$.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "events.xml", dataType: "xml", success: function(xml) { $(xml).find('event').each(function(){ var name = $(this).attr('name'); $('<option value="'+name+'"></option>').html(name).appendTo ('#select_event'); }); } }); Now, i only want to show the elements where the event attribute name is like "test". Thanks in advance for your help Florian
