You can do something like this to read your nodes.

Also you can find some explanation in this page http://www.compoc.com/tuts/

<script type="text/javascript">
        var markers = null;
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $.get("File.xml", {}, function (xml){
              $('marker',xml).each(function(i){
                 markers = $(this);
              });
            });
        });
</script>

The code below will convert any XMLObject or string to a native JavaScript object  Then you can walk on the object to extract any value you want          Tries to convert a given XML data to a native JavaScript object by traversing the DOM tree     If a string is given  it first tries to create an XMLDomElement from the given string          param  XMLDomElement String  source The XML string or the XMLDomElement prefreably which containts the necessary data for the object      param  Boolean   includeRoot  Whether the  required  main container node should be a part of the resultant object or not      return  Object  The native JavaScript object which is contructed from the given XML data or false if any error occured      Object fromXML   function  source  includeRoot         if  typeof source     string                  try                       if   window DOMParser                   source     new DOMParser     parseFromString  source   application xml                 else if  window ActiveXObject                                 var xmlObject   new ActiveXObject   Microsoft XMLDOM                     xmlObject async   false                  xmlObject loadXML  source                    source   xmlObject                  xmlObject   undefined                            else                 throw new Error   Cannot find an XML parser                        catch  error                         return false                       var result            if  source nodeType    9           source   source firstChild      if   includeRoot           source   source firstChild       while  source             if  source childNodes length                 if  source tagName in result                     if  result source tagName  constructor    Array                        result source tagName     result source tagName                    result source tagName  push  Object fromXML  source                                else                  result source tagName    Object fromXML  source              else if  source tagName               result source tagName    source nodeValue          else if   source nextSibling                 if  source nodeValue clean                             result   source nodeValue clean                                    source   source nextSibling            return result      String prototype clean   function         var self   this      return this replace    r n  n  r  gm      replace    s   s   g

If you get this from a Webserver  check out jQuery  You can load it  using the Ajax load function and select the node or text you want  using Selectors   If you don t want to do this in a http environment or avoid using jQuery  please explain in greater detail
