ok, I find that I can get the json element very easy but still haven't found a way to get the attribute name. $("Test", data).each(function(i){ console.log($("[...@name]", this).text()); // does not work. console.log($("json", this).text()); // does work }); I have tried with the following queries: /te...@name] /t...@name t...@name ....@name
Is this jQuery not supporting attribute selectors or is my xpath wrong? thanks in advance, jon.
