[jQuery] XML print all nodes ( html() )

[Shane]

Is there a way to print out the structure of a jQuery xml element...
heres some code

$(xml).find("item").each(function(){
        if(myid == $(this).find("id").text()){
              itemsXML = $(this).html()     <------ trying to do something
like this
         }
}

i would like itemsXML to contain the entire stucture of the xml rather
than the jquery object.  thanks
