Converting a PHP script into a JavaScript script which reads and prints XML data

I am trying to replace all of my PHP with JS (Node and ajax (and jQuery library)) but am having trouble converting the following PHP script into an ajax engine.

    <?php
    $xmlDoc=new DOMDocument();
    $xmlDoc->load("Administration/data/people.xml");

    $xx=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('person');

    $hintt="";
    for($ii=0; $ii<($xx->length); $ii++)
      {
      $yy=$xx->item($ii)->getElementsByTagName('id');
      $zz=$xx->item($ii)->getElementsByTagName('fullName');
      if ($yy->item(0)->nodeType==1)
        {

            echo "<button type='button' class='mybutton' name='users'>" .
            $zz->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "</button>";

        }
      }

    ?>

Here is my ajax attempt:

        <div id="loadMe">
            <h1>Reading..</h1>
        </div>

        <script>
                $.ajax({
                    type: "GET",
                    url: "Administration/data/people.xml",
                    dataType: "xml",
                    success: function(xml) {
                        $(xml).find('person').each(function(){
                            var fullName = $(this).attr('fullName');
                            $("<button type=button class=mybutton value='+fullName+'></button>").html("<h3>'+fullName+'</h3>").appendTo('#loadMe');
                        });
                    }
                });
        </script>

To me, it looks pretty similar, but the JS is not working. Anyone see an inconsistency or can tell me why my XML elements are not appending to the indicated div tag? Thanks a lot in advance guys and gals!

EDIT (1/24/14 1:24 AM): I thought providing my XML would be helpful, perhaps I am referencing the data wrong?

<people>
  <person>
    <id>10</id>
    <fullName>Philadelphia Collins</fullName>
    <firstName>Philadelphia</firstName>
    <lastName>Collins</lastName>
    <age>62</age>
    <hometown>Sunnyvale</hometown>
    <job>Restraunt Owner</job>
  </person>
<people>
