```javascript
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: '/some/good/stuff.xml',
dataType: 'xml',
error: function(xhr) {
alert('Failed to parse feed');
},
success: function(xml) {
var channel = $('channel', xml).eq(0);
var items = [];
$('item', xml).each( function() {
var item = {};
item.title = $(this).find('title').eq(0).text();
item.link = $(this).find('link').eq(0).text();
item.description = $(this).find('description').eq(0).text();
item.updated = $(this).find('pubDate').eq(0).text();
item.id = $(this).find('guid').eq(0).text();
items.push(item);
});
console.dir(items);
}
});
```
Your friend Internet Explorer
-----------------------------
For IE 6 and better (worse?) the feed must return the right content type, so make sure the response contains this header:
```javascript
Content-type: text/xml
```
If this header is not set the jQuery Ajax error handler is called and the feed is not parsed.
