title: How to query an XML string via DOM in jQuery
body: <p>I would like to take a string and treat it as XML. Then I will be able to query with DOM via the jQuery.find. Everything was working fine in Firefox, but I realized this is not working in IE.</p>
  
  <p>I am doing this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  var t = "&lt;div&gt;&lt;outer&gt;&lt;inner&gt;abc&lt;/inner&gt;&lt;inner&gt;def&lt;/inner&gt;&lt;/outer&gt;&lt;/div&gt;";
    alert("[" + $(t).find("outer").html() + "]");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In Firefox 3 it prints:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[&lt;inner&gt;abc&lt;/inner&gt;&lt;inner&gt;def&lt;/inner&gt;]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In IE 7 it prints:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any workarounds for getting this to work across browsers?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
