Here is a my latest refinement of an XML2Array function. It creates an associative array where tags are the keys. When tags have attributes, it becomes part of the key (optionally). The values of the resultant array is itself an array of values OR another XML2Aarray array.

Xml has become a very ubiquitous and is an integral part of .Net and the System.Data namespace. The problem lies in that not many people know how to take advantage of some of the features. When we are using a database, we naturally use the Systen.Data namespace, but with Xml documents as data there are hundreds of solutions for displaying Xml data out there for .Net.

I myself prefer to use the DataSet object and the DataGrid control just as I would if the data was coming from SQL Server. The common misconception, even to those who know that you can do this, is that you need a schema to accomplish it. There is a very simple way to bind raw Xml data to a datagrid without a schema. The Xml data must be simple though, mapping to rows easily.

libNog is a 9k library to provide somewhat easier browser-independence. It is not yet complete, and will be continuously revised. It grew from this snippet, and is still growing as I find things I use often.
Presently, libNog features:

A way to browser-independently get an XMLHttpRequest object.
A set of simple methods for GET, POST, HEAD, and to include other Scripts.
Simple methods for className control
A completely abstracted form of getElement*
Browser-independent methods for attaching and detaching event handlers
An event-normalization routine
A simple one-command 'Stop the Event' routine
And the big one: A simplified Class object by which classes can be built in JavaScript.

The above link will point you to the API documentation and history of libNog, as well as where to download the library.
