Which part do you need help with? Sending the results from Rails as XML?
Reading/parsing the XML in JavaScript?

Suppose your application.js has function foo().

I suspect this action handler does what you need:

render :update do |rjs|
rjs.call :foo, my_xml
end

That’s all. The my_xml contents will be escaped as a big JavaScript
string, and ‘foo(’ & ‘)’ will be put around it. Then the whole string
will go across the wire, and get evaluated as JavaScript. It will
de-escape the string, find XML, and pass that to foo().
