i got it to work. (it's cobbled together)
ok here's the run down for those interested....
the form has text fields check boxes and radio buttons.
so when successful here's the function...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
var root = o.responseXML.documentElement;
nodelist = root.childNodes
for(i = 0; i < nodelist.length; i++) {
temp = '';
currentNode = nodelist[i].nodeName;
temp=nodelist[i].firstChild;
if (temp!=null) {
/* case for number values */
currentNodeTemp = nodelist[i].nodeName +
nodelist[i].firstChild.nodeValue; /* get value of node */
currentValue = nodelist[i].firstChild.nodeValue; /*
get name of node */
switch (currentValue){ /* do the right thing */
case (currentValue = "1"): /* for radio buttons */
oForm[currentNodeTemp].checked = true;
break
case (currentValue = "2"):
oForm[currentNodeTemp].checked = true;
break
case (currentValue = "3"):
oForm[currentNodeTemp].checked = true;
break
case (currentValue = "4"):
oForm[currentNodeTemp].checked = true;
break
case (currentValue = "5"):
oForm[currentNodeTemp].checked = true;
break
/* for true false*/ /* for check boxes and 'yes -
no'radio button*/
case (currentValue = "True"):
oForm[currentNode].checked = true;
break
case (currentValue = "False"):
oForm[currentNode].checked = false;
LastUnderscore = currentNode.lastIndexOf ('_',
currentNode.length-1) /* yes no radio button have id_Yes or id_No */
if LastUnderscore > 0 ){ /* so if it has an
underscore the id_No
needs to be checked 'true' because if checked 'false' it wouldn't be
selected */
oForm[currentNode].checked = true;
}
break
default:
oForm[currentNode].value =
nodelist[i].firstChild.nodeValue; /*
fills text input wit text */
}
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and if you can follow that cool.
when this goes live I can show it for those interested.

Hi John,
I haven't really done lot of parsing using javascript but here is a link
which has lot of examples (one of them related to your request... auto
complete)
http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/index.html?whichScript=ajax-dynamic-list
I haven't really gone through lot of the stuff out there due to time
constraint but i think it definitely gets you few ideas.
Best of luck...
Thanks
Sravan
