javascript xml parsing

Hi,

I have the following XML....

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">
      <channel>
            <title>Push Entertainment Playlist</title>
            <link>http://www.pushentertainment.com</link>

            <item>
                  <title>Media Item 1</title>
                  <media:content url="video.flv" type="video/x-flv"/>
                  <description>Media Item 1 Description</description>
                  <media:thumbnail url="preview.jpg" />
            </item>
            <item>
                  <title>Media Item 2</title>
                  <media:content url="video.flv" type="video/x-flv" />
                  <description>Media Item 4 Description</description>
                  <media:thumbnail url="preview.jpg" />
            </item>
            <item>
                  <title>Media Item 3</title>
                  <media:content url="video.flv" type="video/x-flv" />
                  <description>Media Item 4 Description</description>
                  <media:thumbnail url="preview.jpg" />
            </item>
            <item>
                  <title>Media Item 4</title>
                  <media:content url="video.flv" type="video/x-flv" />
                  <description>Media Item 4 Description</description>
                  <media:thumbnail url="preview.jpg" />
            </item>

      </channel>
</rss>

The xml is loaded OK but I'm struggling with the syntax to access the nodes. I want....

title, content url, content type, description & thumbnail url

... for each <item>. What JS do I need?

The basic code is from w3schools http://www.w3schools.com/XML/tryit.asp?filename=tryxml_httprequest_js4 but I edited the onResponse function so it reads from your XML file's structure instead!
