Reading a simple XML Document

Good Afternoon All,

I am trying to parse the XML below into three variables using the code
below, but it is not working. Can anyone help to identify what I am
doing wrong?

Thanks,
Doug

XML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<result>
<status>200</status>
<url>https://127.0.0.1/test</url>
<message>Success</message>
</result>


Javascript code:

var XMLresult = req.responseXML;
var Redirect = XMLresult.getElementsByTagName("url");
var status = XMLresult.getElementsByTagName("status");
var Message = XMLresult.getElementsByTagName("message");

XML:
?xml version="1.0"?
result
status>200</status
url>https://127.0.0.1/test</url
message>Success</message
/result


Javascript code:

var XMLresult = req.responseXML;
var Redirect = XMLresult.getElementsByTagName("url");
var status = XMLresult.getElementsByTagName("status");
var Message = XMLresult.getElementsByTagName("message");

It is called getElement*s*ByTagName for a reason.

var Redirect = (XMLresult.getElementsByTagName("url") || [])[0];
var status = (XMLresult.getElementsByTagName("status") || [])[0];
var Message = (XMLresult.getElementsByTagName("message") || [])[0];

What matters is that you need to access the first (and only) element of the
returned NodeList. The `|| []' trick is only there to provide a value that
you can easily test against, which may be helpful in other situations.
