I’m learning javascript for a new project.
I have seen many tutorials about javascript and xmlhttprequest,
but when I try to run decode it won’t work.
can somebody help me.

here is my html+javascript code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
 <title>xml reader</title>
</head>

<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var xmlhttp;
    var xmldoc;
    if(window.XMLHttpRequest){
        xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    }else
    {// code for IE6, IE5
    xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=stateChange();
    xmlhttp.open("GET","info.xml",true);
    xmlhttp.send(null);
    xmldoc = xmlhttp.responceXML.documentElement;
    document.write(xmlhttp.getElementsByTagName("vakken")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
</script>
</body>
</html>

here is my xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<info>
        <name>test</name>
        <nummber>10</nummber>
</info>

    maybe you should use xmlhttp.onreadystatechange and set it to a real function. the function stateChange() does not exist in the above example.

    a good working example that does almost the same thing as you do is here:
