I am invoking a web service through $.ajax(). onsuccess I am getting an xml document, now the problem is I need to see the contents of the retrieved xmlDocument..
Is there anyway to do that.. ??
- where do you plan to show the documents? in a page? or do you just want to read it? you can print it out in console.log if you just want to read it manuallycorroded– corroded2011-09-30 06:31:22 +00:00Commented Sep 30, 2011 at 6:31
- do you just want to see the result of the ajax call? Consider using Firefox with the Firebug add-on. It makes web development much easier.Cliff– Cliff2011-09-30 06:31:40 +00:00Commented Sep 30, 2011 at 6:31

Put it to the textarea field as-is
$("#textareaID").val(xmlstr); or display with html-encoding:
$("#someDivID").text(xmlstr); // jQuery text() function performs html-encoding automatically Simple demo: http://jsfiddle.net/wKhnF/1/
Note dataType: "text", it is required to process the response contents as a text rather then XML object.

success: function(data,testStatus){ alert($.parseXML(data)); } here i am getting an alert showing [object:object]
Artem Koshelev
change
dataType to text as described, not xmlUse Firebug to check the response.
You can use http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.parseXML/ to read, parse the XML, find, and retrieve elements.
$.parseXML(xml)

thats an javascript object and you need to read through the elements you want to handle.

the problem is i dont know what kind of response the web service is sending.... i only know that it is an xml object ... so i want to know what is there inside the xmlDocument... is that possible .. ?????

Possible. Use firebug addon to check the response of your ajax requests on browser. It will display the xml. Or check for the solution mentioned by Artem.
