Question

Answer 1

Have you received this XML file via an XMLHttpRequest? If so, you can use its responseXML property.

alert(xhr.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("statusLocation"));

Or with jQuery:

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "yourfile.xml",
    dataType: "xml",
    success: function(xml) {
        alert(xml.documentElement.getAttribute("statusLocation"));
    }
});
