How to parse xml into javascript

@KottonauthorAug 03.2011 — #Well, there

s this suggestion for iE:
 
 &lt;html&gt;<br/>
 &lt;head&gt;<br/>
 &lt;title&gt;Read XML in Microsoft Browsers&lt;/title&gt;<br/>
 &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;<br/>
 var xmlDoc;<br/>
 function loadxml()<br/>
 {<br/>
 xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");<br/>
 xmlDoc.async = false;<br/>
 xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = readXML;<br/>
 xmlDoc.load("employee.xml");<br/>
 }
 
 <i>    </i><CODE>function readXML()
 <i>    </i>{
 <i>    </i>   if(xmlDoc.readyState == 4)
 <i>    </i>   {
 <i>    </i>    //Using documentElement Properties
 <i>    </i>    //Output company
 <i>    </i>    alert("XML Root Tag Name: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.tagName);
 
 <i>    </i>    //Using firstChild Properties
 <i>    </i>    //Output year
 <i>    </i>    alert("First Child: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes[1].firstChild.tagName);
 
 <i>	</i>//Using lastChild Properties
 <i>	</i>//Output average
 <i>	</i>alert("Last Child: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes[1].lastChild.tagName);
 
 <i>	</i>//Using nodeValue and Attributes Properties
 <i>	</i>//Here both the statement will return you the same result
 <i>	</i>//Output 001
 <i>	</i>alert("Node Value: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes[0].attributes[0].nodeValue);
 <i>	</i>alert("Node Value: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes[0].attributes.getNamedItem("id").nodeValue);
 
 <i>	</i>//Using getElementByTagName Properties
 <i>	</i>//Here both the statement will return you the same result
 <i>	</i>//Output 2000
 <i>	</i>alert("getElementsByTagName: " + xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("year")[0].attributes.getNamedItem("id").nodeValue);
 
 <i>	</i>//Using text Properties
 <i>	</i>//Output John
 <i>	</i>alert("Text Content for Employee Tag: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes[0].text);
 
 <i>	</i>//Using hasChildNodes Properties
 <i>	</i>//Output True
 <i>	</i>alert("Checking Child Nodes: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes[0].hasChildNodes);
 <i>    </i>  }</CODE>
 }<br/>
 &lt;/script&gt;<br/>
 &lt;/head&gt;
 
 &lt;body onload="loadxml();"&gt;
 
 &lt;/body&gt;<br/>
 &lt;/html&gt;
 
 and the xml example:
 
 &lt; ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?&gt;<br/>
 &lt;company&gt;<br/>
 &lt;employee id="001" &gt;John&lt;/employee&gt;<br/>
 &lt;turnover&gt;<br/>
 &lt;year id="2000"&gt;100,000&lt;/year&gt;<br/>
 &lt;year id="2001"&gt;140,000&lt;/year&gt;<br/>
 &lt;year id="2002"&gt;200,000&lt;/year&gt;<br/>
 &lt;/turnover&gt;<br/>
 &lt;/company&gt;
 
 But I dont know how to use it for a browser like FF. I even tried this with iE, but it

s not alerting anything. Hope you can help me.

Kind regards,

Kotton
