Everything is working fine on the database end. I just cannot display a CSS element based on content sent from the controller.

I have the following controller (please ignore comments - It works with JSON):

Code:
&lt;?php

      class Ajax_test extends Controller {

          function Ajax_test()

          {

              parent::Controller();

          }

          function index()

          {

              $this->load->view('ajax_test_view');

          }

          function process()

          {

              $this->load->model('Ajax_test_model');

              //inside your system/application/models folder, create a model based on the procedure

              //outlined in the CI documentation

              $record = $this->Ajax_test_model->insert_entry();

              //get the record from the database

              //$array = array('result' => 'cool dude');

              //echo json_encode($array);

              echo '<test>bogus</test>';

              $this->output->set_header("Content-type: text/xml");

          }

      }

      ?&gt;

I am trying to pass

Code:
<test>bogus</test>

to this view:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

 &lt;html lang="en"&gt;

 &lt;head&gt;

   &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;

    &lt;style type="text/css"&gt;

    a.test { font-weight: bold; }

 &lt;/style&gt;

$(document).ready(function() {

    // hides the slickbox as soon as the DOM is ready

    // (a little sooner than page load)

    $('#edit').hide();

    $('#add-text').hide();

    $('#submitted').html("");

    $('#submitted').hide();

    $('#loader').hide();

    // toggles the slickbox on clicking the noted link

    $('#edit-text').click(function() {

        $('#edit').show();

        $('#field').hide();

        $('#add-text').show();

        $('#edit-text').hide();

        $('#submitted').html("");

        $('#submitted').hide();

        return false;

    });

    // toggles the slickbox on clicking the noted link

    $('#add-text').click(function() {

        $('#edit').hide();

        $('#add-text').hide();

        $('#loader').show();

        var dataString = 'name='+ $("#name").val();

        $.post("/ajax_test/process", dataString,  function(xml) {

        $('#submitted').html($("test",xml).text());

         $('#loader').hide();

             $('#field').show();

             $('#edit-text').show();

      }, "xml");

        $('#submitted').show();

        return false;

    });

});

   [removed]

 &lt;/head&gt;

 &lt;body&gt;

<span id="field">

This is the text to replace.

</span>

<span id="edit">

&lt;input type="text" name="name" id="name" size="25" value="This is the text to replace."&gt;

</span>

<a href="#" id="edit-text">edit</a>

<a href="#" id="add-text">add</a>

<span id="submitted"> </span>

<span id="loader"> <img src="/home/laborlaw/images/ajax-loader.gif" />  </span>

 &lt;/body&gt;

 &lt;/html&gt;

for some reason, when I click add, the entry is added to the DB, but the id="submitted" will not display the message from the XML passed from the controller.

Can anyone help me on this?

Putting your XML before this line: $this->output->set_header("Content-type: text/xml") is probably not helping.

moving $this->output->set_header(“Content-type: text/xml”) after has no effect. . .
I was able to pass XML when I wasn't using codeigniter, but just inline PHP.
