    xhr.send();

    function handleStateChange() {
        if (xhr.readyState === 4) {
            doneCallback(xhr.status == 200 ? xhr.responseText : null);
        }
    }
}

function ajax() {
    getFileFromServer("Test.txt", function (text) {
        if (text === null) {
            // An error occurred
        } else {
            document.body.innerHTML += test;
        }
    });
