I have worked on projects where you call a webservice and that returns xml
back to a calling page, but this is not a webservice and I was wondering if
any one had any experience with reading xml over http request, where
apparently this returned as a web page. If you could reply to this post I
would really appreciate it. Thanks.

What do you want to do with the XML data?

Do you know about XSLT?

http://xmlxslt.sourceforge.net/
http://www.brics.dk/~amoeller/XML/xslt.html

Here's an indented listing for readability:

Here's another link:

Guide to Using AJAX and XMLHttpRequest from WebPasties


Also, there was an error in both of our listings:

There needs to be a space before "?>" in the above line; as in:

Re: reading xml returned on http

Thanks for the examples down below, but what I was looking for was passing
xml between two servers.
but your links were helpful.
