Can anyone help with a jQuery snippet that would use Ajax to pull an XML file in on page load?

Have really clunky way of doing it without jQuery here:

<script type="text/javascript">
function  loadXMLDoc()
{
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)
    {
    xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
    var txt="";
    x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("title");
    for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
      {
      txt=txt + x[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "<br />";
      }
    document.getElementById("checkedIn").innerHTML=txt;
    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET","ajax-response-data.xml",true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>

Ideally rather the having a click generate the list it would do so on page load, showing the fields from the XML (title, author, and whether it is checked in or not i.e. <book id="#" checked-in="0">)

Would hug you for a solution.
