Absolutely right! In my .jsp I had something like this:
<jsp:text>
<![CDATA[ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> ]]>
</jsp:text>
I changed it to this (no spaces):
<jsp:text><![CDATA[ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> ]]></
jsp:text>
and I was able to access the element below (showed in the console).
function woa(res) {
alert(res.responseText);
var dom = parseXML(res.responseText);
var $dom = $(dom);
console.log( $dom.find('#iiForm\\:iiDude').attr
('value') );
}
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
