Javascript + CF XML Integration

["freedomflyer" <webforumsuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone...
 I've searched ALL over the net and I can't seem to come up with results on how 
to do my task. 
 The task seems fairly simple, and I've tried quite a few methods, but I cannot 
seem to get it to work
 Here is my goal:
 1)I have a simply HTML form with a submit button and a <div> tag with 
id="divver". This page is "AJAX enabled" so I want the data to be transferred 
"behind the scenes".
 2)Inside this HTML page is some javascript to send an asynchronus request to a 
.cfm page. 
  (NOTE: I've tried to receive a responseText from the .cfm page and this 
works...so the communication is correct
 3)Inside the .cfm page I just have some simple XML in a string and I've tried 
using <cfdump> and <cfoutput> to output the XML

 4)My goal is to receive this XML from the .cfm page and process it using 
javascript and then update the HTML page with the javascript in it.

 I think my problem is I don't know how to output the XML correctly using the 
.cfm page, and when I receive it with my JS I don't know how to process it.

 Any help would be *GREATLY* helpful. Thanks!
