I have some javascript that processes and validates some custom XML. Currently the reference to the file is hard coded using Ajax:

$.get("test.xml", {}, XmlOnLoad );

When I debug the value passed to XmlOnLoad is a #document with a conentType of application/xml

I need to be able to load different files. I found the code here and tried to adapt it but I'm having an issue. When it passes to the XmlOnLoad it is a file with a type of text/xml. As a result, it fails when I use any XML functions like childNodes(). Here is the code as I have it now:

function readURL(input) {
    if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
        XmlOnLoad(input.files[0])
    }
}

What can I do differently to get it to process successfully as an XML document?

You could try converting the file to a blob url and use $.get. 

function readURL(input) {
    if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
        $.get(URL.createObjectURL(input.files[0]), {}, XmlOnLoad, 'xml' );
    }
}
