jQuery Pass XML Ajax

I have the following jQuery

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "http://f.cl.ly/items/0i1V1L1k2F440L1m2Y0G/pointdata.xml",
    dataType: "xml",
    success: parseXml
});

function parseXml(xml) {
    $(xml).find('point').each(function() {
        var lat = $(this).children('lat').text();
        var long = $(this).children('long').text();
        alert(lat + long);
    });
}

Trying to read data from this XML file

You can also see a live jsFiddle here

For some reason, the variables lat and long aren't being assigned for each element. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. ​

Your parseXML function works

You're probably violating the same origin policy.
You can't send ajax requests to other domains.

Note that lat + long concats strings so '1' + '2' is '12' not 3.
If you want the result to be 3, parse to int first.
