I have to display a XML data in a table in a HTML file.
I try turning off all my extensions on FireFox but I still get a blank screen.
Employees Details
<script>
var client;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
client = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else {
client = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
client.open('GET', 'employees.xml', false);
client.onreadystatechange = function() { // will run when the file loads
// get the response XML
var xmlDoc = client.responseXML;
// get the list of user
var user = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("user");
// get the container where you want to embed the table
var container = document.getElementById("container");
var tableString = "<table border='1'>"; // Make a table and put the element data inside it
for (i = 0; i < user.length; i++) {
tableString += "<tr><td>";
tableString += user[i].getElementsByTagName("Firstname")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
tableString +="</td><td>";
tableString += user[i].getElementsByTagName("Phone")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
tableString += "</td></tr>";
}
tableString += "</table>";
// append the table to the container
container.innerHTML = tableString;
}
client.send();
</script>

I get a blank screen when I open the html in FireFox. I don't know if it is my code or something on my computer. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out.
