How to change the value of an xml node with jquery?

Question

This may be a simple question though can´t figure out how to do it. I want to load and modify an xml file, then save the xml through php.

Here is the code:

Answer 1

Is this what you are looking for?

$(this) is each of the menu_items you iterate over with .each()

Your code becomes

$(xml).find('menu_item').each(function(){
   $(this).text("New Value");
});

Hope this helps

EDIT

To post this back to the server I would do this:

$.post('save_xml.php', { xml: $(xml)}, function(data){alert("Data Loaded: " + data);});

and then in the PHP file

This code is untested, and there could be any number of reasons it doesn't work, write permissions on the files etc.
