Loaded XML Document is null (Javascript) - Stack Overflow

I am trying to load an XML document into Javascript so it can be outputted on a website, however when I load the XML document it is null, and so I get an exception each time I try to read from it. Here is my code:

CODE ON THE WEBPAGE

    var xmlDoc;      loadXML();      function loadXML(){         xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("http://www.tomrichardsonweb.co.uk/ABC/xml/pubs.xml");     }      function loadPub(){          if(xmlDoc != null){              document.getElementById('pub').innerHTML=             xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("name")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;         }else{             alert("null");         } 

loadXMLDoc Method

function loadXMLDoc(dname) { if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {     xhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {     xhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xhttp.open("GET",dname,false); xhttp.send(); return xhttp.responseXML; 

}

I am constantly getting xmlDoc = null. What is the problem here?

EDIT: In Chrome, under the network tab, it says that the xml document has been loaded. I am testing all this on the server my website is hosted, and not from my machine.
