XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:8081/sample.xml. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function loadXMLDoc(url)
{
var xmlhttp;
var txt,x,xx,i;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
txt="<table border='1'><tr><th>Author</th><th>Title</th></tr>";
x=xmlhttp.responseXML.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("book");
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
  {
  txt=txt + "<tr>";     
  xx=x[i].getElementsByTagName("author");
    {
    try
      {
      txt=txt + "<td>" + xx[0].firstChild.nodeValue + "</td>";
      }
    catch (er)
      {
      txt=txt + "<td> </td>";
      }
    }
    xx=x[i].getElementsByTagName("title");
    {
    try
      {
      txt=txt + "<td>" + xx[0].firstChild.nodeValue + "</td>";
      }
    catch (er)
      {
      txt=txt + "<td> </td>";
      }
    }
  txt=txt + "</tr>";
  }
txt=txt + "</table>";
document.getElementById('txtCDInfo').innerHTML=txt;
 }
}
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>

this is because of the Same origin policy. you cannot use ajax to call external sites. if you really want to use, you have to use JSONP. Or you can use serverside proxy for this. means, call external site in the server side and do ajax call to the that webservice. For more details see my answer on following question, $.ajax call working fine in IE8 and Doesn't work in firefox and chrome browsers
