JScript XMLHTTP ActiveXObject Problem

Hello, i have a JScript i'm trying to write for a program and have it
get the contents of a webpage, however whenever i follow these
tutorials i've found on the internet (which is for a webdocument and
not a program), the readstate object stays on 1 (loading) and wont goto
4 (done) and i dont know why. I've tried XMLHTTP and XMLDOM and both do
not work. This is the code i used:

var xmlhttp

function loadXMLDoc(url)
{

jmc.output( "Loading IE Protocol" );
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
if (xmlhttp)
{
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=xmlhttpChange
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true)
xmlhttp.send()
}

}

function xmlhttpChange()
{
// if xmlhttp shows "loaded"
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4)
{
// if "OK"
if (xmlhttp.status==200)
{
jmc.output(xmlhttp.responseText)
}
else
{
jmc.output("Problem retrieving XML data")
}
}
}

And like i said, i enterchanged XMLDOM w/ XMLHTTP and neither worked.
Could use some help or another way of getting document content off
webpages. Thanks.

Is seems the ones you're trying to use are designed for server side
use and you're working client side.

I think you should be using MSXML2.XMLHTTP in your context.

If you take the value inside the passed parameter "url" and paste it in your
browser...does it work?

And like I said, you used new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM") in
your code, and it should have been MSXML2.XMLHTTP as-written
