Hi,
I think your doing the same sort of thing that I've been working with.
When you bring up an xml doc in IE I will turn it into a tree format - you can click on the +'s etc to expand it.
This is a feature of IE and can be refered to as a client side transform (kindof).
Netscape can also do this - if you look at your xml in it will probably just come out as a load of text, to add more structure to it you need to apply a XSL stylesheet .. Basically it takes your xml and gos ahhh with this node I want to have a big Header ... this child node will be centered etc... (you specify how each mode and attribute will be displayed).
You need to specifiy a xsl stylesheet if you want
If you have a look at and go to the lecture notes look at the first chapter for more details.

Oh - the only browsers that can do this (Client side xsl transforms) as far as I know are IE 5.5 +, and Netscape 6.2 +
