        myFunction(xhttp);
    }
};
xhttp.open("GET", "books_cdata.xml", true);
xhttp.send();

function myFunction(xml) {
    var x, i, xmlDoc, txt;
    xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;
    txt = "";
    x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("html");
    for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
        txt += x[i].childNodes[0].data + "<br>";
