Surprised that I could not find much on this, I don't think this is a dup (who knows anymore?...)
My PHP-generated HTML looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Manipulate and Save XML</title>
</head>
<body>
...
<script type="text/xml" id="xml-data"><?=$well_formed_xml?></script>
...
</body>
</html>
My js app initializes like this:
var xml = $.parseXML($("#xml-data").html());
var $xml = $(xml);
Then, through actions taken by the user, this xml gets traversed, read, and manipulated. I would like to get the string of the manipulated xml to then send as a post to a server and initiate a file download dialog.
I've tried:
$xml.html() // returns null
$xml.toString() // returns "[object Object]"
xml.toString() // returns "[object Document]"
Interesting to note: I first went to the jQuery manual page on parseXML, tried to follow the link to the XMLDocument pseudo/virtual type http://api.jquery.com/Types/#XMLDocument only to find that it was undocumented there (no section with id="XMLDocument").
Any ideas?
