I have one team out of a hold league roster with stats. If I can get one right I can duplicate this and use it for every other team I have alot of xml code to reference And I am getting better at handling xml. But of course I also run into the issUE i GOT NOW XML is laid out different from my samples To start I can't even get out of the starting Gate I start off with top attrib called message and need to strip Image with teamid and title. Then I was going to do the players stats and then clone. But I using Fire Bug and I can't get intro data.

What is wrong?

work for me :

You mainly forget the # to select element by their id :
$('#title1') and not $('title1')

teamid1 is a DIV, why should it dislay a logo? Because you set it's "src" attribute?
<div align="center" id="teamid1"></div>
should be :
<div align="center"><img src="default_logo.jpg" alt="team logo" id="teamid1" /></div>

So I got :
http://images.sportsnetwork.com/NHL/attherink/players/134.png

But it's not found...

		getsimple();
	});

	function getsimple() {
		$.get(xmlPath + "/" + xmlGameID + ".xml", function(data) {
			var d = $(data);
			var message = d.find('message');
			var title = $("Title", message).text();
			var teamid = $("TeamID", message).text();
			$('#title1').text(title);
			$('#teamid1').attr('src', 'http://images.sportsnetwork.com/NHL/attherink/players/' + teamid + '.png');

leakim971 Thanks you pointed me in the right direction. I make newbie mistakes like
teamid1 is a DIV, why should it dislay a logo? Because you set it's "src" attribute?

I used a team logo and viewed the page and there it was the Flyers Logo. Now I'm out of the starting gate running.
