Implementing a lite Feed Reader

I would like to know if anyone has some javascript code that reads an
external, arbitrary, XML feed, and can display the 2 or 3 latest
submissions based on the XML src.

Is such a task even possible with just client-side javascript?

Sorry, I am completely new to JavaScript.

Thanks.

Here's one that uses a PHP helper:

http://feed2js.org/

Not the pure client-only solution you were looking for, but server side
support is available free from the feed2js site if you can't run the
PHP somewhere yourself.
