You can do it like this:

function parseXml(xml) {

   var dom = null;

   if (window.DOMParser) {

      try { 

         dom = (new DOMParser()).parseFromString(xml, "text/xml"); 

      } 

      catch (e) { dom = null; }

   }

   else if (window.ActiveXObject) {

      try {

         dom = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLDOM');

         dom.async = false;

         if (!dom.loadXML(xml)) // parse error ..

            window.alert(dom.parseError.reason + dom.parseError.srcText);

      } 

      catch (e) { dom = null; }

   }

   else

      alert("cannot parse xml string!");

   return dom;

}
