Answer 1

You can't load external files with AJAX. However, you can set up a file on your own server that makes the content available on your server. For instance in PHP, you could write a file googlexml.php:

And then you could access that with AJAX. I'm not sure if Google's terms of use will let you do that, but if they do, then this is an option.
