Ouch!

Bit my lip this morning eating my breakfast in a hurry, drew blood and everything, and also the work I did at the weekend fixing my xml namespaces in jquery doesn't work now I've transferred it to work...

Great weekend though, did our usual lunch at Wagamama and afternoon drinks in The Dolphin, then had a reasonably quiet night in watching Children of Men and Hot Fuzz and drinking our new favouite tipple Prosecco and eating goodies we'd bought in town.

Saw two weddings in Canterbury, one was having their reception in The Goods Shed, so while we were doing our shopping on the ground floor there were speeches and things going on on the mezzanine level just above us, all very public. Then there was another reception at The Dolpin, which the bride was delivered to by VW split-screen van, very nice.

Spent most of sunday clearing Clare's stuff out of the inlaws loft, as they're moving soon. Threw out a whole of crap but couldn't resist bringing some of the books and keepsakes home, more than we'd intended.

Enjoying what I'm doing at work right now but this week feels like it's going to be a long one, looking forward to Dean's birthday celebrations at the weekend.

xml namespaces in jquery

Dang I'm struggling with some work code that I really ought not be thinking about on a Friday night...

How do I access xml tags in other namespaces using jquery? If I have some xml like:



hey
yeah
woo



I can easily get any of the elements with something like
$('thing')
but how do I get them if the elements are namespaced, like




hey
yeah
woo




I'm simplifying a bit there, but I can't find any info online about how to get this out again; I can't access my elements with

$('stuff:thing')

because that means a stuff tag of type thing...

What am I missing? Do you know what I'm on about? Do you care?

jquery is a brilliant javascript library that I use for everything at work (though I haven't really brought this site up to date with much of it), but I'm struggling to use it to process some gecoded rss like the geo:lat and geo:long in here...

I could really do with knowing this for a fairly funky work project, but equally I could do with not thinking about this on a Friday night...

UPDATE: Just ignore the namespace and get it like this:
$('lat, long', xml ).each( function () {
$('#debug').append( '

' + this.nodeName + '=' + $(this).text() + '

RE: xml namespaces in jquery

i dont have an answer to your q (sorry) but was wondering what you make of jquery? i've just started a new project for upmystreet and we're using prototype/scriptaculous but just had a look at the jquery site and it looks quite neat.

when are we going for beers?
