������� myFunction(xhttp);

xhttp.open("GET", "books.xml", true);
xhttp.send();

function myFunction(xml) {
    var x, i, att, xmlDoc, txt;
    xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;
    txt = "";
    x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('book');
    for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
        att = x.item(i).attributes.getNamedItem("category");
