Adding a string inside a node of an XML object using JavaScript or jQuery -

this first time doing xml. i'm working script (i'm not original author) outputs xml object so:

var myurl = <ajaxxmlobject><textarea>"http://examplewebsite.com/?page=home&parametera=x&parameterb=y"</textarea></ajaxxmlobject> 

is there way, using jquery or javascript, of accessing <textarea> node , concatenating string url? far research has come short.

you can wrap xml in jquery object reference/update node text.

var myobj = $('<ajaxxmlobject><textarea>"http://examplewebsite.com/?page=home&parametera=x&parameterb=y"</textarea></ajaxxmlobject>');    var url = myobj.find('textarea').text().replace('"', '').replace('"', '');  url += "&some=stuff";  myobj.find('textarea').text('"' + url + '"')    alert(myobj.find('textarea').text());

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

i added handling maintain double quotes. not sure if need or not.
