In this article I will show you how to use jQuery add image using XML file. Here, First, you add a source or URL of an image to an XML document, and then by using jQuery ajax we can gather details of each image. Once, you extract image details from the source to an <img> tag using jQuery. By using jQuery “.attr()” method you will get the properties of the image then, using “.appendTo()” append method in jQuery add or append the image to an HTML DIV element.
XML File:
Create an XML file and name it as imageList.xml. Copy and paste the following code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<list>
<ref>
<img>images/f1.jpg</img>

dataType: 'xml',
success: function (xml) {
$(xml).find('ref').each(function () {
img = $(this).find('img').text();
title = $(this).find('title').text();
