    <p>I am new to jQuery and am trying to read in an xml file. I have created a simple html file as shown below and in the same directory have an xml file called allTasks.xml. I see the alert when the document is loaded and I see the second alert 'Here Now'. However when I try and use the find method I cannot traverse the xml correctly. Is there a good way to test if I am actually loading the xml file at all? Also should this work in a html file or should I be using php?</p> <p>Any help would be greatly received !</p> <pre><code>html &lt;!doctype html&gt; &lt;html lang="en"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt; &lt;meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"&gt; &lt;title&gt;Read XML File&lt;/title&gt; &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.3.2/jquery.mobile-1.3.2.min.css"&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.3.2/jquery.mobile-1.3.2.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(document).ready(function(){ alert('Loaded'); var $myXML; $.get('allTasks.xml', function(data) { $myXML = data; ; }, 'xml'); alert('Here now '); alert($myXML.find("Tasks&gt;Task&gt;TaskId").text()); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div data-role="page" id="page1"&gt; &lt;div data-role="header" class="ui-bar ui-bar-b" style="height:50px;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- end of header --&gt; &lt;div data-role="content"&gt; &lt;div id='names'&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- end of content --&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- end of page div --&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>xml</p> <pre><code>&lt;TaskList&gt; &lt;Tasks&gt; &lt;Task&gt; &lt;TaskId&gt;1&lt;/TaskId&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Name of Task 1&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;/Task&gt; &lt;Task&gt; &lt;TaskId&gt;2&lt;/TaskId&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Name of Task 2&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;/Task&gt; &lt;/Tasks&gt; &lt;/TaskList&gt; </code></pre>

    2. COAlert or `console.log` your $myXML within the callback function of `$.get`. `$.get` is asynchronous so your last alert will fire earlier that your `$.get` is done.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
