Can u program XML in javascript?

Can anyone please tell me whether I can access certain nodes in the XML when
I'm programming javascript in it?  
This is what I'm doing:
this is the XML:
      <QuestionDefs>
        <QuestionDef Category="Travel" Id= "departure_date" Caption="What is
your departure date?" Style="Date" Required="Quote">
          <QuestionCheck Value=">Today" Message="Return date must be after
today"/>
        </QuestionDef>
      </QuestionDefs>

this is the XSL template:
<xsl:template match="dummy">
<CENTER><INPUT type="text" name="dDate" onChange="getDate()"/><BR/><BR/>
<INPUT type="button" name="Calendar" value="Calendar" id="ButCal"
onClick="calClick()"/>
</CENTER>
</xsl:template>

when I type in the date (onChange) I want the javascript to compare this
value to the QuestionCheck's Value attribute, and then if that's true, I
will show the message attribute.


Thanx! :)
