You can't do it with HTML. You could do it with Javascript. Do you know how to use Javascript?

Please do not bump a topic in which you did not even ask a question. It certainly isn't going to get me out of bed. So now you get on the web, research how to include an external javascript page, and find some code that will parse the xml. Be prepared to learn about loops, etc. I would almost guarantee that there is a javascript parser for XML somewhere on the web already, if you can't figure out how to use the one built into your browser already.

Once you have some code written, we will be glad to help you fix it. We won't write it for you.
