xHReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
xHReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Length", xml.length);
xHReq.send(xml);
// Capture the result
var resultXml = xHReq.responseXML;

// Check for errors.
var errorCount = resultXml.selectNodes('//error').length;
if (errorCount != 0)
{
 var msg = resultXml.selectSingleNode('//description').nodeTypedValue;
 alert(msg);
}
// Open new contact record if no errors.
else
{
   var contactid = resultXml.selectSingleNode("//CreateResult");
 window.open("/sfa/conts/edit.aspx?id={"+contactid.nodeTypedValue+"}");
}
