var xml = '<rss version="2.0"><channel><title>RSS Title</title></channel></rss>',
xmlDoc = $.parseXML( xml ),
$xml = $( xmlDoc ),
$title = $xml.find( 'title' );
// append "RSS Title" to #someElement
$( '#someElement' ).append( $title.text() );
// change the title to "XML Title"
$title.text( 'XML Title' );
// append "XML Title" to #anotherElement
$( '#anotherElement' ).append( $title.text() );
