Load XML file AJAX
By Marcin Olejarz
This code handles loading external XML file and uses this data. You have to remember setting Internet privilege for external scripts and data.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function loadXMLDoc(url)
{
var xmlhttp;
var txt,x,xx,i;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
txt="<table border='1'><tr><th>Title</th><th>Author</th><th>Price</th></tr>";
x=xmlhttp.responseXML.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("book");
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
txt=txt + "<tr>";
xx=x[i].getElementsByTagName("title");
{
try
{
txt=txt + "<td>" + xx[0].firstChild.nodeValue + "</td>";
}
catch (er)
{
txt=txt + "<td> </td>";
}
}
xx=x[i].getElementsByTagName("author");
{
try
{
txt=txt + "<td>" + xx[0].firstChild.nodeValue + "</td>";
}
catch (er)

document.getElementById('BooksInfo').innerHTML=txt;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
