xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhttp.readyState == 4 && xhttp.status == 200) {
myFunction(xhttp);
}
};
xhttp.open("GET", "books.xml", true);
xhttp.send();
function myFunction(xml) {
var xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;
var x =
xmlDoc.documentElement;
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML
=
"Nodename: " + x.nodeName + "<br>" +
