I am trying to build a jquery image slider
for my home page ,,,, i know there are unlimited tutorials
for the same , but my requirement is that i want the slider
to be independent ie i would like to have the images,title,description
to be loaded from XML file
,,, so that in future i would just have to change XML file
...Can anyone suggest me how to start with this as i am fairly new to XML
....
Thank you

Use ajax to get XML and parse it.

Find a slider you like or write your own.
