xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged();

should be

xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged;

when you use () that means to execute the code right here and now. You want to assign the reference to the function to the evet handler.

Since you are using a global variable to hold the xmlHttpRequest Object, you should use a global variable for the containerId.

Also the code should be

open
onreadystatechange
send

It gets around some browser bugs.
