I have a demo, it just shows the count of characters.

But kills opera with the over 4meg ajax load, works fine in FF 2 & Safari.

$(function(){
	$.ajax(
		{type: "GET"
		,url: '/cat.cgi?Library.xml'
		,complete:function(r){
			var t = r.responseText
			$('#status').text('loaded')
			var v = t.substr(0,500) + '…'
			$('#msg').text(v)
		 }
		,
partial:function(r){
			var t = r.responseText
			$('#status').html(t.length)
		 }
		})
});
