Simple XML parsing using jquery?

Question

Sorry if this is similar to my other question, but I've been researching and I think I can phrase it better. I'm trying to parse the XML file found at http://xproshowcasex.channel-api.livestream-api.com/2.0/getstream All I am worried about is the isLive element. How can I make the isLive status an object so if it is true I can do one thing, and if it is false do another. The code below is pretty basic, but it's all I've got.

$.ajax({
    type: "GET"
    url: getstreamurl,
    dataType: "xml",
    success: function(xml) {
    }
});

Thanks for your help.

isn't this a violation of the cross-domain ajax request policy? usejquery.com/posts/9/the-jquery-cross-domain-ajax-guide — Stefan H

@Stefan I'm using a plugin that uses yql. Can you request an XML document using jsonp? — davis

This looks like it might not work because of the cross-domain request policy but here's a tutorial on XML parsing with jQuery: Parse XML with jQuery

If you're using YQL you can try out: http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/cross-domain-requests-with-jquery/

The cross domain AJAX outputs JSONP via YQL which you can then import into your site. This will circumvent any cross-domain issues.

+1 for using YQL to get around crossdomain policy. I've use PHP+CURL and YQL both (when I don't control the xml). Nice mention.
