Getting Nth Element using Xpath and Jquery

Question

I'm trying to traverse through an XML file using jquery mobile.

My code goes as below

testsss = $(xmlHttpRequest).find("Table OrganizationName:first").text();

Now I can get the first OrganisationID element by using the code ("Table OrganizationName:first") but wot if I want to get the 3rd element?? is there any way to do it in Jquery??

Thanks for your time in advance.

jQuery:eq is what you are looking for.

$(xmlHttpRequest).find("Table OrganizationName:eq(2)").text();

Otherwise try to read the data with PHP SimpleXML.

it doesn't work when I try '$(xmlHttpRequest).find("Table OrganizationName:nth-child(1)").text();'
