What do you mean by "HTML tree" ?

There is no standard way in HTML to present tree information.

You could use tables for the layout (very ugly and very old).  You
could use nested DIV's for the layout.  You could also use nested
<UL><LI> (very common - especially if this is a menu).

If the tree is expandable and collapsable then you may want a JS
implementation (unless you can find a way to use a reasonably complete
CSS implementation - but many browsers wouldn't support that yet).

But - in CFMX - basically you would load your XML into a XMLDocument
in CFMX and then begin walking over the nodes, generating either HTML
and or JS array stuff that can be handled by your tree implemenation.

Also - have a look at XLoadTree at webfx.eae.net.  This is a full JS
implementation that uses XML files to store the tree data.  It works
in IE and Mozilla.  I dont know if it works in any of the Mac
browsers.
