Hey, I've got what hopefully is a simple question. We're constructing a real-estate site and we want to use data from a foreclosures API. I've never really done any XML before, but I've got the basics down to the point where I can read in XML data from a remote XML file and display it in HTML (which obviously is much more basic than the end goal, but as long as I can actually read in data from the XML file and do ANYTHING with it, I know how to get the rest done...).

My problem now is that both the API's we want to use don't actually return an XML file--one uses as ASHX handler and the other...well I don't know what it uses. Either way, neither of the request URL's end in .xml. Is there something really simple that I am missing?

I just can't get the XMLHTTPRequest to actually return anything. How do I read in the returned XML data from a URL that doesn't actually end in .xml (which I assume means it isn't actually an XML file, per se)?
