Loading xml in JavaScript Fails

[karthick ryan]

Hi,
This is the piece of code which i used. Please go through it. This doesnt seem to work.

<script language="Javascript">
<!--
var xmlObj;
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");

xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("web.xml");
// The xml file is present in the same folder where this jsp file is present

xmlObj = xmlDoc.documentElement;
alert(xmlObj); //i get a "null" here

-->
<script>
