AJAX and JavaScript

Question

Im having an issue with the request below, for some reason I can seem to get the XML to display?

I've checked the URL and it displays fine, so im wondering whats going on?! Could anyone give me a hand? There should be something in the ResponseText not "NULL".

var url = "https://services.lexel.co.uk/paf/";

loadXMLDoc(url)

function loadXMLDoc(url)
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,false);
xmlhttp.send(null);
alert(xmlhttp.responseText);
}

You cannot use AJAX to send a request to a different domain.
