C#

if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
           xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
       }
       else {// code for IE6, IE5
           xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
       }
       xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
           if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
               message1.innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
           }
       }
       xmlhttp.open("GET", "../Book.xml", true);
       xmlhttp.send();

Try it...
