How about;

var details = xml.getElementsByTagName("detail");

for (var i = 0; i < details.length; i++) {
    if (details[i].childNodes) {
        for (var j = 0; j < details[i].childNodes.length; j++) {
            var detail = details[i].childNodes[j];
            if (detail.nodeType === 1)
                alert( "details node " + (i + 1) + ": " + detail.nodeName + "=" + detail.firstChild.nodeValue );
        }
    }
}

Here, I want to loop through the <detail> elements. Although I can specify the <detail> tag name in my code, I can't use the tag names of the children. I want to know the tag names of those elements and their values.

How can I loop through them and do this?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<body>
  <detail>
    <FirstName>t1 </FirstName>
    <LastName>t2</LastName>
    <Company>t3</Company>
    <Country>t4</Country>
    <Proviance>MP</Proviance>
    <city>indore</city>
  </detail>

  <detail>
    <FirstName>t5 </FirstName>
    <LastName>t6</LastName>
    <Company>t7</Company>
    <Country>t8</Country>
    <Proviance>t9</Proviance>
  </detail>

  <detail>
    <FirstName>t10 </FirstName>
    <LastName>t11</LastName>
    <Company>t12</Company>
    <Country>t13</Country>
    <Proviance>t14</Proviance>
  </detail>

</body>
