How do I create a HTML table with multiple columns and rows using a XML file and java script to pull the data?

I am a php developer and I am stuck in php/mySQL land... But my client says I can only use javascript and XML on this next project... I basicly need to figure out how to query a XML file and display it on a formated HTML page as a dynamic table... I can do this in 5 minutes using php/mySQL... But I have very little understanding on how to do this using javascript and XML... Someone please point me in the right direction... Please!!!

  1. great question! there is the hard way to do it in js, and the easy way. I've done both. let's discuss the easy & cool way. visit jquery.com examples of jquery's simplified http request, and building dynamic tables, and even adding sorts (tablesorter).... it's worth learning! I found reading John Resig's code almost a religious experience!
