title: jQuery AJAX parsererror
body: <p>I am working on the following page.</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.ranger.ryerson.ca/library/test/steveDev/testcarousel/test.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.ranger.ryerson.ca/library/test/steveDev/testcarousel/test.html</a></p>
  
  <p>it works in firefox, chrome, and opera, but in IE6,IE7, and Safari (the god forsaken browsers) they all give me "parsererror"</p>
  
  <p>My page uses the jquery XML parser, and the bad browsers dont like it. The troubled code is the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.ajax({
          type: "GET",
          url: "http://www.ranger.ryerson.ca/library/test/steveDev/testcarousel/readXML.cfm",
  
  
          dataType: "xml",
          success: function(xml) {
              $(xml).find('images').each(function(){
                  $(this).find('pic').each(function() {
                      temp= '&lt;a href="'+$(this).find('link').text()+'"&gt;&lt;img src="'+$(this).find('thumbnail').text()+'" width="'+$(this).find('width').text()+'" style="border-style: none" height="75" title="'+$(this).find('alt').text()+'"alt="'+$(this).find('alt').text()+'" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;';
                      carousel.add(count, temp);
                      count++;
                  });
                  carousel.size(count);
              });
          },
          error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown){
              alert(textStatus);
          } 
  
      })
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>how can I resolve my problem</p>
