If you can use IE only, you can use the XMLDOM ActiveX Object to load XML
data from the server through JS:
<script>
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.load(address_of_xml_file);
</script>
An good example, although a really complex example, is the deeptree DHTML
behavior at Microsoft's MSDN Library. It's what controls the left hand
navigation:

It takes some digging through the source code and CSS stylesheet to find it,
but it's there.
