Tree like view for xml in web browser

Question

I have xml data(file or text) sent to client from web server.
The xml has tags only (no attributes). Actually I am using it to represent a tree.
On client side I need to render it as a tree and let client select multiple nodes in tree and submit it back to web server.
Are there any useful resources out there I can use ?

From a bird view I would suggest you using XSL for transforming XML to XHTML code (you can play around here: http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/tryxslt.asp?xmlfile=cdcatalog&xsltfile=cdcatalog - description here: http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/)

For tree components you could use for example a jQuery plugin (http://floatmargin.com/demos/checkboxtree/checkboxtree.html).

Edit: the above link does not work. You may find plenty of checkbox trees in jQuery by Googling as I see. Though I did not try each out. E.g.: http://www.redcarrot.co.uk/2009/11/11/collapsible-checkbox-tree-jquery-plugin/
