Trying to render XML in web page using javascript

<script type="text/javascript">
function getPage()

var objHTTP = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
alert ("Created HTTP object");
objHTTP.Open('GET','

http://www.helpme.com/test.asp?InputZipCode=44320&OutputType=XML',false);

objHTTP.Send();
document.all['A1'].innerText= objHTTP.status;
document.all['A2'].innerText= objHTTP.statusText;
document.all['A3'].innerText= objHTTP.responsexml.getElementsByTagName('InputZipCode');
document.all['A4'].innerText= objHTTP.responsetext;
alert('The firstname is ' + firstnames[0]);
}

<body onload="getPage()">

I am attempting to query an XML output to a web page.
The above code is a sample of what I'm running.
the response: line pulls all the raw xml which is good
but I'd like to put all the data in readable format.
The response1 line just returns [object] with no other data.
Is there away to feed the data to the web page in a readable way?
Eventually I'd like to insert the data into a database.
Can someone help me with this code.

>document.all['A3'].innerText= objHTTP.responsexml.getElementsByTagName('InputZipCode');
[tt]document.all['A3'].innerText= objHTTP.responsexml.getElementsByTagName('InputZipCode')[red][0].text[/red];[/tt]
It returns a collection of nodes. The above takes the first ([0]) for illustration.

<script type="text/javascript">
function getPage()
{
var objHTTP = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
var url1="

http://www.test.com/testProducers/GetTest.asp?Inputtest=testN&OutputType=XML"

alert ("Created HTTP object");
objHTTP.Open('GET','fullurl');
alert ("The GET call seems not to work on your internet site!")
objHTTP.Send();
document.all['A1'].innerText= objHTTP.status;
document.all['A2'].innerText= objHTTP.statusText;
document.all['A3'].innerText= objHTTP.responseText;

}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<h2>Using the HttpRequest Object</h2>
<input type=button onclick="getPage()" value="GO">

I am attempting to make the input dynamic now.
When I run the above code. It returns the error:
The system cannot locate the source specified.

When I run the debugger the following error is displayed
msxml3.dll: Unspecified error
