Yes.

code:
<xml id="articles" src="test.xml"></xml>


This is IE-specific.

There is nothing remotely similar in other browsers. I suggest you look into XSLT.

w3schools is really really bad at advocating the standards. They have a lot of IE proprietary stuffs. I have nothing against explaining how to use those things, but then the name of the site is a misnomer.

Blacknight: As HZR suggested you should have a look at XSLT ( check also the nicely done XSLT references on zvon.org ). Another option is to use JavaScript and the XMLHttpRequest object to load the XML document, and parse it in JavaScript using the regular DOM methods.

I would also change <from> into <author> or <creator> or some other descriptive noun. I find it best to use nouns to describe resources. Using verbs or in this case prepisitions can be a little confusing. This fits better into REST style architecture.
