[thelist] XML and javascript and loading more than one file

[Diane Soini]

What's the best way to load a bunch of XML files with javascript and 
then concatenate all the loaded data into a single unit for further 
processing? I've tried loading them in sequence and filling a hidden 
div with all the nodes. I'm wondering if maybe there's a way to do it 
without using a hidden div or iframe, but just concatenate it all into 
one big unit.

The hidden div method works ok, but I get strange results in IE6 (the 
only browser I've tested). The first element somehow drops its opening 
tag.
