How do i read XML???

[barkermn01]

I need to know how to Build AJAX to read a XML
and then if ther is certain tags there react buy calling functions

Functions i have and what they do

all in Javascript

New_msg(Sender, When, Msg);
// Checks for a open window with name from var Sender
// if open sends msg to function add_msg(msg, when) in side open windows named from var Sender
// if not open opens a windows loading a script

new_frd(name);
// open a windows to a php page called add_mate.php
// then calls function rl_mates();

rl_mates();
// re build the freinds list allowing user to chat to them

Then XML Reader check for more then what is currently loaded from the tags <friends/>
if there is a new one add it to the list of users currently working

Have you tried any tutorials on Ajax and XML? There are plenty out there that should get you started.

I just found this link: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/AJAX:Getting_Started

Check out step 4, it explains using XML.

AJAX does not require XML, it can actually retrieve any file type.
