yeah I see how that works... but it's not best to use async:false,
unless you really want it sync.
with the 'complete' callback you get a parm that has the whole req.
and can get the responseText from it.
also... your var is not xml it's text, and the dataType should not be
set to "xml" for non-xml requests... it doesn't kill you.. it's just
misleading.
ajah(or ajat) is what you're doing, it's akin to ajax but without any
xml involved.
I learned about the different callbacks from the docs... and now it's
committed to memory!
