There may be problems with white-space nodes - see this link.

Here is something which might help you: JavaScript Xml Document and XPath

[udaypawar]

function loadXMLString(xmlstring) {
    if (window.DOMParser) {
        parser=new DOMParser();
        xmlDoc=parser.parseFromString(txt,"text/xml");
    }
    else // Internet Explorer
    {
        xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
        xmlDoc.async="false";
        xmlDoc.loadXML(txt); 
    }
    return xmlDoc;
}
 
var xmlDoc = loadXMLString("<a><b>1</b><b>2</b></a>") ;
var objNodeList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("a");
alert(objNodeList.length);

You could also use jQuery, just wrap the xml code in the jquery object and you're ready to query it.

Javascript for Selenium reading XML from DOM into XML string:
(when displaying xml file in a browser)

function loadXMLFromDOM2XMLString( xmlString, xmltag, currentChildNode ) { 
 
var nodes = currentChildNode.childNodes; 
var i = 0 ;
var node = nodes[i];
var slash = '/';
var lessthan = '<';
var greaterthan = '>';
while ( i < nodes.length) {
   if (node.data == null) {xmltag = lessthan+node.localName+greaterthan;} else {xmltag = node.data;};
   xmlString = xmlString  + xmltag;
   xmlString = loadXMLFromDOM2XMLString( xmlString, xmltag, node  );   
   if (node.data == null) {xmltag = lessthan+slash+node.localName+greaterthan;} else {xmltag = "";};
   xmlString = xmlString + xmltag;
   i++;
   node = nodes[i];
}
 return xmlString ;
} ;
 
var xmlString = "";
var xmltag = "";
var currentChildNode = window.document;
 
xmlString = loadXMLFromDOM2XMLString( xmlString, xmltag, currentChildNode );
xmlString;
