 xmlHttp.send(null)
 }

function stateChanged()

//返回的是一个xml
 xmlDoc=xmlHttp.responseXML;
 document.getElementById("firstname").innerHTML=
 xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("firstname")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
 document.getElementById("lastname").innerHTML=
 xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("lastname")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
 document.getElementById("job").innerHTML=
