Hello, I'm a new in Javascript and I don't understand why in de code snippet below
1) serial = $(this).find('SERIALNUMBER').text().toUpperCase();
retruns the actual serianumber from the loaded XML file and why
2) a = $(this).find(param5).text().toUpperCase();
doesn't, knowing that param5 is equal to 'SERIALNUMBER'
Thanks for clearing my mind

$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: param3,
dataType: "xml",
success: function(xml) {
$(xml).find(param4).each(function(){
var searchString="";
var a = [];
for (i = 0; i < param6; i++) { a = $(this).find(param5).text().toUpperCase();
serial = $(this).find('SERIALNUMBER').text().toUpperCase();
}
