See thsi link It should answer your question.

responseXML will be empty unless the response is valid XML with the correct headers.

Yes,if u want to view the XML content of the response object u have to call
XmlHttpRequest.responseText.
If u alert the XmlHttpRequest.responseXML it shows an [object].

Use XmlHttpRequest.responseXML method to handle the XML file on the browser side.Use XmlHttpRequest.responseXML.documentElement to get the root node of the XML file.By using this u can go thru' whatever the nodes and attributes of the nodes u want to display.There r several DOM methods available like.... XmlHttpRequest.responseXML.documentElement.getElem entsBytagName
XmlHttpRequest.responseXML.documentElement.childNo des.length
XmlHttpRequest.responseXML.documentElement.childNo des[4].firstChild.text

So XmlHttpRequest.responseXML is used to handle the XML file on the browser.

so getElementsByTagName .... this is the main thing i have to use frequently ...

that means using this method i can get all the desired values in a XML file.
m i right?

one more thing, requesting for a HTML file using AJAX is nothing but a fool job.....mainly AJAX is for requesting for a XML file then processing the node values using this method.

any suggestion is most welcome.
kind regards.
