[RESOLVED] XMLHTTP.responseText and Javascript

[rplcmint]

Well, I'm using the XMLHTTP API (which is pretty useful!).

Now that I returned the "xml string" from another website, how do I parse through that data to get the information that I need? I don't need the whole string!


So if my reponse: xmlhttp.responseText = <id value=1234><init>MPH</init></id><id value=1235><init>STP</init></id><id value=1236><init>RTY</init></id>

..how do move around the xml to retrieve id of 1236 which is RTY so I can name that tag on my page 'RTY'?

Are there any methods that I can use from the XMLHTTP API that I can use to retrieve that certain node in XML that I need? Or do I have to use Javascript to parse the data that I need?



The only examples I see don't parse through the xmlhttp.responseText, they use the whole damn XML string!


I appreciate any help.


P.S. I suppose I would have to use a well-formed XML to do this correctly.
