Instead of loading the responseText load the responseXML, or just use it 
directly:

var root = getdocs_xmldoc.load(getdocs_xmlhttp.responseXML).documentElement;

OR

var root = getdocs_xmlhttp.responseXML.documentElement;

If for some reason responseXML is not being populated then either the server 
maybe sending back the wrong content type header.
