Parsing XML using Javascript

Question

I want to access XML elements in the following document. There about 935 items AircraftReport. I know how to display all of them by using .find() and .each() but I am having trouble getting only the first 10 AircraftReports.

<response>
<data num_results="935">
<AircraftReport>
     <latitude>50.5</latitude>
     <longitude>-51.8</longitude>
</AircraftReport>
<AircraftReport>
     <latitude>55.9167</latitude>
     <longitude>-43.1</longitude>
</AircraftReport>
....
</data>
</response>

I am assuming I have to write that in a for loop. How can this be done with jQuery?

Correct. I used $(this).find("AircraftReport").each(function(){...} to access each element. But this approach is wrong as it displays all elements @ArunPJohny — Sarsung

There are 2 ways to solve this problem... the first is to enhance the server side code to support paging where by the server will send only 10 items per request with corresponding paging details...

Another is to do it in the client side using slice()

$(this).find("AircraftReport").slice(0, 10).each(function(){...}

Slice(0,10) did the job. I appreciate your help
