here is my jQuery code, i take rss input from textarea with id "rss" and trying to print the link in firebug console.

feed = $('#rss').val();

$(feed).find('item').each(function(){ console.log($(this).children().eq(3).text());

});

For some reason the complete xml is not rendered correctly, here is the pastebin link of delicious feed http://pastebin.com/KbDNyL0P

Update: It seems that I was using some wrong version/distro of jQuery, I copied jQuery from a plugin directory that causes the issue. Lesson learnt: always download from jQuery/GoogleCode site.

Answer 1

Try using json

http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/json/myusername?count=15

$.ajax({
   dataType: 'jsonp',
   data: 'count=15',
   jsonp: 'callback',
   url: 'http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/json/myusername?callback=?',
   success: function (data) {
      $.each(data, function(i,item){
         console.log(item.u);
      });
   }
});
