2.33. Get the server's response from the request object

If the ready state is "4", the browser will have put the server's response in the request object's responseText property:

    function updatePage() {
      if (request.readyState == 4) {
        /* Get the response from the server */
        The browser will store the server's reponse in the responseText property.var
customerAddress = request.responseText;The server is returning the customer's address.
        /* Update the HTML web form */
      }
    }
