Here is one way to do it:

var xml = null;
function loadXML(myURL){
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: myURL,
        dataType: ($.browser.msie) ? "text" : "xml",
        error: function(){
            return;
        },
        success: function(data){
             if (typeof data == "string") {
               xml = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
               xml.async = false;
               xml.loadXML(data);
                } else {
               xml = data;
             }
        }
    });
};
$(loadXML("common/glossary.xml"));

then

$(xml).find('something')
