AJAX Not Loading XML Value

I am still getting used to things like ajax and have a problem. I am creating a PBBG, a game made out of HTML, CSS, JS, ect. I have some code that will repace the content of some cells of the table with the values of some XML tags. It only is changing one box for now.

Basicly I want it to open the XML file, get "Archer" from the name tag, and place it in the th tag. But right now it only says "undefined". I figured out that that problem is with line 12 of my JS but I can't figure out how to fix it. Any help is apreiciated, thanks!

I will leave a simplified vertion of the code here. (Simplifed being all the parts being used left.)

XML
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE unit SYSTEM "unit.dtd">
<unit>
	<name>Archer</name>
</unit>
HTML
Code:
<table>
	<tr>
		<th id="Name" colspan="2">
			
		</th>
	</tr>
</table>
JS
Code:
function Archer()
	{
		if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
			{xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();}
		else
			{xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");}
		xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
			{
				if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
					{
						txt="";
						x=xmlhttp.responseXML.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('name');
						txt=x.data;
						document.getElementById('name').innerHTML=txt;
					}
			}
	xmlhttp.open("GET","Units/Archer.xml",true);
	xmlhttp.send();
}
I have it set to onload="Archer()"
