var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
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.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].childNodes[0];
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
x.data + "
- Length: " + x.length;
}
