Actually, I'm wrong, you're correct about pure javascript.  I've been
using the Micosoft ActiveX XMLDOM not the java XMLDOM, but my code is
still javascript.  Here is the object I use:

locXML =3D new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.5.0")
//locXML =3D new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.4.0")
//locXML =3D new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.3.0")
//locXML =3D new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.5.0")
//locXML =3D new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0")
//locXML =3D new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0")

if (typeof(locXML) =3D=3D 'undefined') {
	alert('Error: you must have the XML DOM installed')
} else {
	locXML.async =3D false
	locXML.validateOnParse =3D true;
	locXML.resolveExternals =3D true;
	locXML.setProperty("SelectionLanguage", "XPath");
}
locXML.load(my file name)
locXML.save(my file name)



Sorry about the confusion, you do need activeX.
