Return response information as a string

strValue = oXMLHttpRequest.responseText;
Example
var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject(“Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0”);
xmlhttp.open(“GET”, “http://localhost/books.xml”, false);
xmlhttp.send();
alert(xmlhttp.responseText);
Remarks
Variable, which is read-only and returns response information as a string.
Xmlhttp attempts to decode the response information into a Unicode string. By default, xmlhttp sets the encoding of the response data as UTF-8. If the data returned by the server has a BOM (byte order mark), xmlhttp can decode any ucs-2 (big or little endian) or ucs-4 data. Note that if the server returns an XML document, this property does not process the encoding declaration in the XML document. You need to use the responsexml for processing.
