Javascript - parse xml string

I have found a decent amount of info on google - but nothing is seeming to work for me. I'm trying to take a javascript string, and parse it into an object so that I can traverse through it. Just as any other dom object, getElementById, firstChild, etc. Can anyone provide a simple example?

I would like this to output

Thanks in advance.

This is very easy in Gecko based browsers because when you insert a string with innerHTML it is parsed and added into the DOM right away, and they have a non-standard method called DOMParser(). Internet Explorer however, is much more of a challenge. For a cross browser solution I found this:

»jmvidal.cse.sc.edu/talks/javascr···ides.xml

I was able to accomplish what you desire using sections 1.1 and 1.3 from the above link. I basically copied and pasted the code from those two sections, preceded it with "var XML = {};" and was able to access the contents of your xml_string via the DOM.

Beware of the differences between the HTML DOM and the XML DOM. More info on this can be found here (this article also features the same code as the above link):

Hope that helps.
