XML Namespaces With jQuery (Solved)

After a couple of attempts trying different combinations, I hit upon the following approach:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "http://’+document.domain+’/rss.php?action=featuredproducts&type=atom",
    dataType: "text",
    success: function(xml){
    //console.log(xml);
    $(xml).find('entry').each(function(i){
        //console.log(this);
        var link=$(this).find('id').text();

        var title=$(this).find('title').text().

        var description=$(this).find('isc\\:description').html().toString().

        .....................

    });
  },
  error: function() {
    pData='An error occurred while processing XML file.'; 
    $('.ProductList').append(pData); 
  } 
 }); 
});
