if (xhttp.readyState == 4 && xhttp.status == 200) {
myFunction(xhttp);
}
};
xhttp.open("GET", "books.xml", true);
xhttp.send();
function myFunction(xml) {
var x, i, xmlDoc, txt;
xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;
txt = "";
x =
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('book');
for(i = 0; i <
x.length; i++) {
txt += x.item(i).textContent
+ "<br>";
}
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = txt;
