已经有一段时间了，但我只是意识到我忘了发布我如何解决您的组合想法的问题。

$我需要一个完整的客户端数据库（没有PHP）。

我创建了一个包含XML的HTML注释的div 。我使用此HTML解析HTML注释，然后将XML转换为JSON这个。

  var xmltext = $（＃piecelist）。 
 var json = $ .xml2json（xmltext.html（））; 
 

您可以在这里查看我的方法：

也许我应该转这个方法变成一个jQuery插件。

感谢大家的帮助。

I would like to take a string and treat it as XML. Then I will be able to query with DOM via the jQuery.find. Everything was working fine in Firefox, but I realized this is not working in IE.

I am doing this:

  var t = "<div><outer><inner>abc</inner><inner>def</inner></outer></div>";
  alert("[" + $(t).find("outer").html() + "]");

In Firefox 3 it prints:

[<inner>abc</inner><inner>def</inner>]

In IE 7 it prints:

[]

Any workarounds for getting this to work across browsers?

Thanks.

It's been a while, but I just realized that I forgot to post how I solved the problem with your combined ideas.

I needed an entirely client side database (no PHP).

I created a div with an HTML comment in it containing the XML. I parsed the HTML comment with this and then I converted the XML to JSON with this.

   var xmltext = $("#piecelist").comments();
   var json = $.xml2json(xmltext.html());

You can see my method in action here: http://wesculpt.net/art.html

Maybe I should turn this method into a jQuery plugin.

Thanks for all your help everyone.
