get xml values with jquery

Question

What I'm trying to achieve is to get all the values which contain "/photovit_action" and for each of those values to be used in an img tag to display the images using the link that was provided.

This is my XML: Pastebin link

and this is my JQuery:

$.ajax({
    url: "http://test.be",
    type: "POST",
    dataType: "xml",
    data: soapMessage3,
    crossDomain: true,
    contentType: "text/xml; charset=\"UTF-8\"",
    processdata: false,
    success: function (xml) {
        $(xml).find('item').each(function () {
            var url = $(this).find("value:contains('/photovit_action')").text();
            alert(url);

            $('#test').append('<img src="http://test.be/' + url + 'canvasH(180)W(186)">');
        });
    }
});

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Try $(xml).find('item:contains("/photovit_action")').each(function () { var url = $(this).text(); $('#test').append('<img src="http://test.be/' + url + 'canvasH(180)W(186)">'); }); — Arun P Johny

Hi, I'm very close to fixing the problem, by using your answer I get this address as image source: test.be/thumbstring/photovit_action/… i need the same address, just without the "thumbstring", what changes are required for this? — brasay

also whether the url element always will have the name thumbstring — Arun P Johny

In your case there is no value element so the selector is wrong

$(xml).find('item:contains("photovit_action")').each(function () {
    var url = $(this).text();
    $('#test').append('<img src="test.be/'; + url.replace('thumbstring/', '') + 'canvasH(180)W(186)">');
});
