<html>
  <head>
    <script type="application/javascript;version=1.7">
    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    req.open("GET","file:///Users/me/folder/items.xml", false); 
    req.send(null);
    var dom = req.responseXML;
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Above is the code that is given to me – I am supposed to pull objects from items.xml and inject them into the body of this file.

How would I go about doing this?

    The .responseXML property is a document object*[1], which represent the document tree of your parsed XML object. The .appendChild can be used to append nodes from the XML document to your body:

    document.body.appendChild(dom);

    It’s also possible to select a specific element of the XML tree, using DOM methods/properties, such as .getElementsByTagName("tag_name"), .childNodes, etc.
    If you prefer a string, use .xml (IE) or XMLSerializer to get a string representation of the document:

    var string = dom.xml ?
    dom.xml
   : new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(dom);

    *1 The .responseXML will be null if the response is invalid.
