You can build DOMDocument objects in several different ways. Loading an XML file with the DOMDocument's load() method is one of them. You can also pass an XML string as a parameter to the DOMDocument's loadXML() method. Here is an example that builds a single XML tag using this method:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function load() {
  var xmldoc;
  xmldoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
  xmldoc.loadXML("<customer>John Johnson</customer>");
  alert(xmldoc2.xml);
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>
Let's call this script now. The alert box shows the content of xmldoc.
