I'm writing this AJAX application and was finding that only parts of
certain elements, specifically anything before the first HTML tag in the
element.

So let's say you have an XML document and one of the elements is a name:

<name>John Smith <a href="mailto:johnsmith@cnbc.com">email</a></name>

You would think that the element would contain everything between <name>
and </name>, but it doesn't. It only includes everything between <name>
and <a...

And before you say anything along the lines of adding the e-mail address
as another element, this is only an example. Sometimes database fields
include HTML.

This is too good. Apparently the way to do this would be to write the 
element like this:


<name>John Smith &lt;a
href="mailto:johnsmith@cnbc.com"&gt;email&lt;/a&gt;</name>

Is this why you couldn't get your original code to work you moron? If you knew
about escape chars, you wouldn't have posted such a retarded ass question you
fucking stupid shit.
