parsing xml in javascript

I was wondering how to parse out the following values in the "title" tag in the xml using javascript.
Its some xml I get back from a sharepoint list. I want to put them in some sort of container I can us for binding or displaying.

Values are:
orange,
peach,
cherry

And put them in some sort of container I can use later.

Ive been to that exact page already. Still trying to figure it out.

Im even just trying to get the first occurrence and this spits out nothing. (I know I need a for loop)

function myFunction(xml) {

var xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;
var test;

//document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
test = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("d:Title")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
alert(test);
}
