jQuery - Get Content from an XML Page and save to a variable

Question

I am trying to get the content of an XML Element into a variable:

<ContactPresence>
<ContactUri>test.com</ContactUri>
<PresenceState>offline</PresenceState>
</ContactPresence>

How can I get "PresenceState" into a variable?

With jQuery, you can use parseXML

  var xml = "<ContactPresence><ContactUri>test.com</ContactUri<PresenceState>offline</PresenceState></ContactPresence>",
  xmlDoc = $.parseXML( xml ),
  $xml = $( xmlDoc ),
  $node = $xml.find( "PresenceState" );

  var presenceState = $node.text(); // Should contain offline
