Thank you anbu23 your code is absolutely working.
This works when XML is organized. But when XML is not organize then I can not get result. for example:

<MiniTable id="BrowserMiniTable"><Row><Value>66.17%</Value><Key>InternetExplorer</Key>
</Row><Row><Value>27.39%</Value><Key>Firefox</Key>
</Row></MiniTable>

<MiniTable id="ConnectionTable"><Row><Value>4.56</Value><Key>InternetExplorer</Key></Row><Row><Value>4.23</Value><Key>Firefox</Key></Row></MiniTable>
