>From a version of BookBurro:

function str2xml(strXML) {

    //create a DOMParser
    var objDOMParser = new DOMParser();

    //create new document from string
    var objDoc = objDOMParser.parseFromString(strXML, "text/xml");

    return objDoc;
}

[...then later...]

  GM_xmlhttpRequest({ method:"POST",
url:'http://xml.amazon.com/onca/xml3?t=' + amazon_associate_code +
'&dev-t=' + amazon_dev_key +
'&type=lite&f=xml&mode=books&AsinSearch='+isbn, data:"",
    onload:function(result) {
      var x = str2xml( result.responseText );
      var ourprices = x.getElementsByTagName('OurPrice');
