javascript - Use JQuery to iterate over deep XML structure - IE9 -

I have a variable data with the following XML in JS:

  & lt; Data & gt; & Lt; Distribution & gt; & Lt; Checklist & gt; Pre-Vehicle Check Bulk & lt; / Checklist & gt; & Lt; Distribution & gt; 800056799 & lt; / Distribution & gt; & Lt; Shipment & gt; 105065995 & lt; / Shipment & gt; & Lt; DriverName & gt; John Doe & lt; / DriverName & gt; & Lt; DriverLanguage & gt; NL & lt; / DriverLanguage & gt; & Lt; Country & gt; Belgium & lt; / Country & gt; & Lt; Products & gt; 01248741 & lt; / Products & gt; & Lt; Product Details & gt; Metam 200% -33 & lt; / ProductDescription & gt; & Lt; Location & gt; P0204A & lt; / Location & gt; & Lt; / Distribution & gt; & Lt; Question & gt; & Lt; Question & gt; & Lt; ID & gt; Question 1 & lt; / Id & gt; & Lt; Driver & gt; True & lt; / Driver & gt; & Lt; Operator & gt; True & lt; / Operator & gt; & Lt; IsAnswered & gt; False & lt; / IsAnswered & gt; & Lt; Answer / & gt; & Lt; Options & gt; & Lt; Options & gt; OK & lt; / Options & gt; & Lt; Options & gt; NOK & lt; / Options & gt; & Lt; Options & gt; NA & lt; / Options & gt; & Lt; / Options & gt; & Lt; / Question & gt; & Lt; Question & gt; & Lt; ID & gt; Question-2 & lt; / Id & gt; & Lt; Driver & gt; True & lt; / Driver & gt; & Lt; Operator & gt; False & lt; / Operator & gt; & Lt; IsAnswered & gt; False & lt; / IsAnswered & gt; & Lt; Answer / & gt; & Lt; Options & gt; & Lt; Options & gt; OK & lt; / Options & gt; & Lt; Options & gt; NOK & lt; / Options & gt; & Lt; / Options & gt; & Lt; / Question & gt; & Lt; / Question & gt; & Lt; / Data & gt;  

I am creating a JS object based on this XML. The result should be an array with questions, each question has an array of its properties and options. So basically like the same structure as you see in XML under the Question tag

JS code is here to generate the object:

  var question = []; $ (Data) .Find ("question"). Each (function () {var option = []; $ (this) .find ("option"). (Function () {options.push ($ (this) ("id"). Text (), driver: $ (This) .fund ("driver"). Text (), operator: $ (this) .Find ("operator"). Text (), has been replied: $ (this). Text (), answer: $ (this). Symbol ("answer"). Text (), title: $ (this) .find ("title"). Text (), text: $ (this ) .film ("text"). Text (), text_diver: $ (this) .find ("text_driver"). Text (), options: option});});  

Now the problem is that I can see that the first .each to by tag node this from the debugger The value is:

  & lt; option & gt; OKNOKNA   

with jQuery How do I get a loop on many XML levels?

Edit : It seems that is related to IE9, I need it working on this specific browser .

May include'm guessing IE9 thinks these HTML option element invalid location. $
