I need to create to display a output preview of a xml file of:

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?>
<?xml-stylesheet type=&quot;text/xsl&quot; href=&quot;abc.xsl&quot;?>
<root>
<header>Welcome to my help page</header>
<body>Introduction. Welcome to our webpage.</body>
<copyright>Copyright 2002</copyright>
</root>

Anyone can guide me to use DOM, Javascript to display out all the elements but with some changes to it?
I would like to create a preview output to my page(not transform, just output that show all the tags as well) with/without a textarea that look like this:

<?xml version=&quot;1.0?>
<?xml-stylesheet type=&quot;text/xsl&quot; href=&quot;abc.xsl&quot;?>
<root>
<header>Welcome ... </header>
<body>Introduction ...</body>
<copyright>Copyright ...</copyright>
</root>

that means it don't have to show all the values of the elements, just one word with 3 &quot;.&quot;. I can now only output everything with alert(objDOM.xml); but i need to modify abit adding &quot;...&quot; inside.
I've have no idea how to modify the value of the elements, however i now how to add new elements. Therefore i'm stucked.
Please help if possible...

Desperate...

well, great to see that you can help me! I learn something from it.!

But using document.write the &quot;<&quot;&quot;>&quot; seems to be encoded in with IE6.

and also how can i only have the first word and then followed by &quot;...&quot; instead of the whole element value + &quot;...&quot;
?
thanks alot,
