[jQuery] Re: A different approach to parsing XML, and a little help on processing attributes more efficiently

This gets the variables at the top level and gives me the correct
count for each level.

function parseXml(xml) {

$(xml).find('sites').each(function(){

var PARENT = $(this).children($(this).attr('id'));
var PARENTcount = PARENT.length;
var PARENTSchildren = $(PARENT).children($(this).attr('label'));
var CHILDRENcount = PARENTSchildren.length;
var CHILDSchildren = $(PARENTSchildren).children($(this).attr
('label'));
var CHILDScount = CHILDSchildren.length;

alert(PARENTcount)
alert(CHILDRENcount)
alert(CHILDScount)

});
}
