hello,

I suspect it has something to do with the URL. Try deploy it to local IIS or web hosting to test it. If you need further example, you can look at JQuery slide-show with XML. I would recommend test it by using absolute path first the relative path.

ok, I corrected the url and added some alert statements and retested in firefox to make sure I was going through the code. I am not getting any output... any ideas?
//print the date followed by the title of each Mission
function parseXml(xml)
{
$(xml).find("Mission").each(function()
{
$("#output").append($(this).find("ID").text());
$("#output").append("," + $(this).find("OrgID").text());
$("#output").append("," + $(this).find("Name").text());
$("#output").append("," + $(this).find("Date").text());
$("#output").append("," + $(this).find("nTouched").text());
$("#output").append("," + $(this).find("HowTouched").text() + "<br />");
});
}
