Thanks for that Martin. I have now altered the two sections of my
JavaScript to appear as follows. The XXX alert appears, so I know that
the handleHttpManualSearch() function is called, but the YYY alert
does not appear. Could you please tell me what I have done
incorrectly? I apologize for bothering you with this, but I have been
trying for two days to get this to work trying every possible way that
I could find. My lack of XML knowledge is embarrassing.

document.getElementById("xmlDataIsland").XMLDocument.load("CreateXMLFile.as=
px");
document.getElementById("xmlDataIsland").onreadystatechange =3D
handleHttpManualSearch;

function handleHttpManualSearch()
{
   alert("XXX");
   if (document.getElementById("xmlDataIsland").readyState =3D=3D 4)
   {
      alert("YYY");
      var oNode =3D
document.getElementById("xmlDataIsland").XMLDocument.getElementsByTagName('=
borrower').item(0).firstChild.data;
   }
}
