Duplicate Jquery XML parsing

Question

Struggling to figure this out.

I've got an XML file that I call with ajax, then I need to set the element text as variables.

Two of the elements have the same name, and I don't know how to get them separately:

<myElement>

    <Country>
       <Id>1</Id>
       <CountryCode>UK</CountryCode>
       **<Name>United Kingdom</Name>**
    </Country>

    <County>
       <Id>7</Id>
       **<Name>West Midlands</Name>**
    </County>

</myElement>

This is how I currently get them:

    $(results).find("myElement").each(function (i, item) {
        var countryName = $(this).find('Name').text();
        var countyName = **$(this).find(' ???? ').text();** 

    });

Not come across this before, but the XML file ISN'T mine so I can't just rename the elements.

Are you still experiencing any difficulty?

Well, your county is outside of your country tag, so therefore you'd have to do something like this for that line.

$('County', results).children('Name').each(function(){
  countyName = $(this).text();
});

This link further expands upon the above code, and describes it a bit more fully.

^^ Sorry I missed the outer element wrap, I've included that now!

I did similar to the above, when there was a duplicate I did this:

$('Country > Name', results).each(function () {
    countryName = $(this).text();
});

Where there wasn't I did this:

    mainText = $(this).find('MainText').text();
