I am attempting to query an XML output to a web page.
The above code is a sample of wht 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.

The statement:
document.all['A3'].innerText= objHTTP.responsexml.getElementsByTagName('InputZipCode');
returns a collection of element nodes. You need to first restrict it to one node. Then you need to get the text for that node.
Try the following from
http://www.devguru.com/technologies/xmldom/quickref/document_getElementsByTagName.html
document.all['A3'].innerText= objHTTP.responsexml.getElementsByTagName('InputZipCode')[0].firstChild.nodeValue ;
This assumes that you have one InputZipCode and it has only text.
