how to display xml in javascript?

Question

As the question says, it just escaped my memory how to display xml in javascript, I want to display some source xml within an div on a page, that sits next to the processed result of the xml in another div.

Can't remember if there was an equivalent to javascript's escape to convert entities on the client

Note: the xml files are served as is from the server, so I need a client side solution

Note: the main problem is XML doesn't render correctly in most browsers, all the brackets and attributes disappear, leaving you with text that doesn't look like xml

Answer 1

Fetch your XML using Ajax and simply put the result in a textarea. Style the textarea any way you want.
