I have in a xml file a hard disk folders/files structure  
  
  
  
new.txt  
1234  
…

I want to load that xml file in a hmtl one so that:in the left of the  
html page i have a frame with a hmtl tree to simulate a navigation  
between folders and files and in the right if you click on a file i want  
to be displayed some informations about the file, like size, type of  
file etc.

How can i do that? Any advice is welcome.
