Using Javascript to call latest xml file for html display

Hi, this is probably fairly straight forward, but I am very new to this so I hope you can help.

I have an html file that reads from an xml data every minute and displays the data. Now I need a way of updating the xml data source file in the html document. The source name takes the file structure 16102006_0045 then 16102006_0046 e.t.c.

i have been told that javascript is the way to do this but can't seem to find any info on it.

here is the struture of the html document

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <html>

<body>
 
<xml id="15102006_1315" src="15102006_1315.xml"></xml>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;URL=.......ekoner.html">

<table border="1" datasrc="#ekoner">
 
<thead>

<tr><th>Data1</th><th>Data2</th><th>Data3</th><th>Data4</th></tr>

</thead>
 
<tbody>

<tr>

<td><span datafld="Data1"></span></td>

<td><span datafld="Data2"></span></td>

<td><span datafld="Data3"></span></td>

<td><span datafld="Data4"></span></td>

</tr>

</tbody>
 
</table>
 
</body>

</html>

And the xml looks like this

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <?xml version="1.0"?>

<dataset>

 <row>

<Data1>1315</Data1>   <Data2>2006-10-11 16:00:00</Data2>   <Data3>Soccer - Fixtures</Data3>   <Data4>Belarus v Slovenia</Data4></row>

</dataset>

 <row>

So that xml document has the name of 15102006_1315.xml and that is referenced in the html document. After 1 minute, a new one is uploaded as 15102006_1516.xml and that now needs to be read in the html document.

Any tips on how to do this best?

Thanks :)
