Use JSON instead of XML for messages input

[OiYouYeahYou]

I would suggest that you change your Messages location into JSON. Reducing code liability into JSON.parse( xhrContent ) Making long term maintenance much better.

It would look like this

[
	{ "show" : "true" },
	{
		"num" : 15,
		"date" : "2015/04/11",
		"text" : "YouTube is having some issues removing videos at the moment. Clicking remove *will* clear the video, however it may take some time to register and subsequently may show for a while after the page is refreshed. If you refresh the page a few times then YouTube should catch up and eventually not show the video.",
		"ttl" : 7
	}
]

Instead of this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<messages>
	<show>true</show>
	<message>
		<num>15</num>
		<date>11th Apr 2015</date>
		<text>YouTube is having some issues removing videos at the moment. Clicking remove *will* clear the video, however it may take some time to register and subsequently may show for a while after the page is refreshed. If you refresh the page a few times then YouTube should catch up and eventually not show the video.</text>
		<!-- Time to live of the message in days -->
		<ttl>7</ttl>
	</message>
</messages>
