Hello,

You can use code similar to one shown below to perform the search.

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var xmlData = '<profiles><person><id>5397080</id><name>ravi</name><age>25</age>' +
              '<address>AV</address><phone>855-241-1478</phone>' +
              '<business>test</business><email>ghj@test.com</email>' +
              '</person><person><id>5397081</id><name>kumar</name>' +
              '<age>35</age><address>AV</address><phone>855-241-4845</phone>' +
              '<business>own</business> <email>wer@test.com</email>' +
              '</person></profiles>';
$(document).ready(function() {
    var xmlDoc = $.parseXML( xmlData );
    var nod = $(xmlDoc).find("person name:contains('ravi')");
    var pNod = nod.parent();
	var iNod = $(pNod).find('id');
	alert(iNod.text());

});
</script>
</head>
<body>

<h1>My First Heading</h1>
