I have created a small function called '<a href="http://www.bin-co.com/javascript/scripts/xml_parser/" class="mypages" title="XML Parser in JavaScript">xml2array</a>()' that will take an XML document as the argument, parse it and return an <strong>associative array</strong> as the result. This array will contain the data of the XML file - which can be easily accessed - without resorting to writing codes with <code>xml.childNode</code> or <code>node.nextSibiling</code> or any other stuff like that. Take a look at the <a href="http://www.bin-co.com/javascript/scripts/xml_parser/xml2array_demo.php" class="mypages" title="Demo of XML Parser in JavaScript">Demo page</a>.
