Have you used XMLHttpRequest and got that string from the responseText 
property? Then you could simply use the responseXML property instead 
which XMLHttpRequest automatically creates and populates by parsing the 
response as XML if it is sent with a known XML Content-Type (e.g. 
application/xml, text/xml, application/xhtml+xml, in Firefox 1.5 
image/svg+xml probably too).
Besides that there is DOMParser in Mozilla e.g.
   var xmlDocument = new DOMParser().parseFromString(xmlMarkupAsString, 
'application/xml');
