responseXML.xml is not an object

I'm am trying to determine a users role using the SP Services library (http://spservices.codeplex.com/), however I am getting responseXML.xml is not an object error.

SPServices + JQuery are both referenced correctly.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {

 $().SPServices({
 operation: "GetRolesAndPermissionsForCurrentUser",
 async: false,
 completefunc: function(xData, Status) {

  alert(xData.responseXML.xml);
         var userPerm = $(xData.responseXML).find("  [nodeName=Permissions]").attr("Value");
  alert("userPerm = " + userPerm);


 }
 });

});
</script>

Are you using jQuery 1.9.1? I that case it's an bug. https://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/13388

Ajax response object property responseXML will be undefined. While responseText is containing the raw XML response. Reference a newer jQuery will populate responseXML correctly.

Why are trying to use that property of responseXML? If you want access to the raw XML markup, then use the responseText property of xData instead.

I assume that your real goal with the function above (to get the permission) is actually working, correct?

responseXML is a XML Document object that may have different structure depending on browser.
