humm.. as far as i know if your server delivers an XML file as text/xml or something similar then Ajax.request will fill responseXML which contains the xml-doctree. With that you can use the common DOM functions to wade through all the data and then fill your elements as you like.

Hope this helps.

I've got an XML file which is pretty well structured.  I need to retrieve specific elements from that file to fill out empty HTML elements on a page.
 
I think what I need is xPath?  Or - is that overkill?  Is there some easier way to locate an XML element?
 
What I have in mind is pulling the XML file using Ajax, then xPath to get the bits I need.
 
Am I on the right path and does prototype have an xPath capability?
