      var xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(data, 'text/xml');

      var urls = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('loc');

      

      var urlList = '';

      for (var i = 0; i < urls.length; i++) {

        urlList += urls[i].textContent + '\n';

      }

      

      var newWindow = window.open('about:blank', '_blank');

      newWindow.document.write('<pre>' + urlList + '</pre>');
