jquery get request returning document instead of XML
<p>I have a peice of code that i call inside of $("document).ready() in jquery that tries to open an xml file and parse it. </p>

<pre><code>$.get('cal.xml', function(data){
    alert(data);
var xmlDoc = $.parseXML(data);
var $xml = $(xmlDoc);
});
</code></pre>

<p>the alert that pops up is "[object Document]" rather than the actual text of the xml which then throws a problem with $.parseXML(data) saying that 
"Uncaught Invalid XML: undefined" (implying that data is undefined).</p>

<p>here is the XML file </p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;
&lt;cal&gt;
    &lt;today&gt;
        &lt;event&gt;
            &lt;time&gt;
                6:30pm EST
            &lt;/time&gt;
            &lt;title&gt;
                nothing
            &lt;/title&gt;
        &lt;/event&gt;
    &lt;/today&gt;
&lt;/cal&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Could someone help me simply read in this XML file and set it up for parsing?</p>
