[SOLVED] Auto Suggest from xml document

[SOLVED] Auto Suggest from xml document

Hello all,
I am fairly new to jQuery and have a bit of a problem.

I need to create an auto suggest box in a text input that derives its data from an xml document. My problem is that I am unsure of how to query the xml document for the information needed. This may not be a jquery question but I am no sure where to start. I unfortunately cannot use a php script from a DB as this needs to run within Joomla, but separate from its CMS functionality. Basically it will be a second footer fixed at the bottom of the page to access other sites associated with it.

I've looked at the autocomplete plugin and it seems to be what I need, but again not sure where to start with the xml document. I have no problems switching it to JSON if needed but I would still need to figure out how to query for the information and disply the correct results. The results will include the Name of the site, linked and an image. All of which has already been entered into an xml document.

Right now the footer just has an image that when clicked displays a scroll of links. URL - http://www.joomla.ion-e.com

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated

Thanx.
