parse html inside cdata using jquery or javascript

Question

I'm getting a website feed that looks like this ``` some title this tag is ignored

who took the cookie in the cookie jar!? ]]> ``` I need the entire content of the cdata to be displayed in the html. I'm using jquery 1.9.1 and when I get the content part using `$(xml).find('rss content').text()`, it actually ignores the whole `

this tag is ignored

` part. Any way to get everything inside the CDATA using javascript or jquery?

Accepted Answer

Chances are your markup is not parsed as XML by jQuery. Try explicitly invoking $.parseXML():

```
var contentText = $($.parseXML(xml)).find("rss content").text();
```
