                if($(this).find("CountryName").text()==cname)
                {
                    cid = $(this).find("CountryID").text();

                 }
                 else
                 {
                    cid = 0;
                 }
                 alert(cid);

             });

I found some articles talking about this issue:
http://think2loud.com/reading-xml-with-jquery/
http://marcgrabanski.com/articles/jquery-makes-parsing-xml-easy
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.parseXML/

But I didn't this before my self.
