How can I edit a tag in a parsed XML with jQuery?

I got the XML content with this and save into an other var:

  $.get("content.xml",function(d){
    ....
    xml=d;
  }

Some code later:

  $("tag_name_inXML",xml).text("new_content");
  alert($("tag_name_inXML",xml).text()); //alerts the original content..why?

I've also tried this:

 $(xml).find("tag_name_inXML").text("new_content");
 alert($(xml).find("tag_name_inXML").text()); //also alerts the original content..why?

I just want to parse an XML, edit it and save it via PHP.

I also tried this:

  $.get("content.xml",function(d){
    ....
    xml=$(d); 
  }
  ...
  xml.find("tag_name_inXML").text("new_content");
  alert(xml.find("tag_name_inXML").text());//Alerts the NEW! content but..

...I can't send it by

  $.get("save_xml.php",{xml_send:xml});

I got TypeError: Illegal Invocation

I've run out of ideas...

You just need convert the xml, which is a jQuery object, to a string including the changed xml.

Following your these code:

$.get("content.xml",function(d){
    ....
    xml=$(d); 
  }
  ...
  xml.find("tag_name_inXML").text("new_content");
  alert(xml.find("tag_name_inXML").text());//Alerts the NEW! content but..

Try change xml to xml[0].outerHTML:

$.get("save_xml.php",{xml_send:xml[0].outerHTML});
