It sounds like you don't know what XML is, it certainly can't just be "added
to HTML" (Well, not in any standard, sane, or well supported way). Why do
you want to use it?

Sounds like someone learned a new term, xml.

What are you really trying to do?

src="name.xml"> it is looks like what i want but i can not get it to load on
to the page i am trying to add it too. can any one help.. and yes i am

If retyping a HTML file is the problem then scripting is probably the
answer. Languages such as PHP specialise in generating the HTML for you.

You can convert XML files to XHTML (or any other XML-derived format) using
XSL, but it can be quite difficult to learn. PHP is probably easier and
usually comes with an XML parser which you can use to read your XML file
and output HTML. This (X)HTML is then sent to the browser.

Generally, XML other than XHTML shouldn't be sent to the browser unless
you're coding an AJAX app (if you don't know you are you're not). XML
itself has no rules how the browser should display it.

There are many good books available on PHP, and many websites with
introductions. This is probably where you should go next.
