XMLhttp request is not loading

Question

Hello i am new in XML HTTP request. and I am trying a code to load an XML file but didnt get the desired outcome.

code is : `<script> if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { var xhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } var url="../src/employee.xml"; xhttp.open('GET',url,true); xhttp.send(); xmlDoc=xhttp.responseXML; document.write("XML document loaded into an XML DOM Object."); </script> </body> </html>`

employee is an xml file in the src folder which is <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <employee> <branch="cse"> <name>Rahul</name> <age>21</age> </branch> </employee>

var xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); xmlhttp.open("GET","/css/normalize.css?ThereIsNoSpring",false); xmlhttp.send();

I am thinking that the problem is that you are setting it to operate asynchronous, which would then require you to specify a callback.

open( Method, URL, Asynchronous, UserName, Password )

If the open method of the XMLHttpRequest object was invoked with the third parameter set to true for an asynchronous request, the onreadystatechange event listener will be automatically invoked for each of the following actions that change the readyState property of the XMLHttpRequest object.

Therefore, just set the third parameter to false, if you need it to be asynchronous, then set it to true and specify a callback like as follows:

 xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() { if (xmlhttp.readyState === 4){ alert(xmlhttp.responseXML); }
