I have tried as you suggested but am not sure if I understand
correctly.
looking at the result of using (dirn.getDistance().meters) I am still
getting the html as well as the distance!
also i am a bit confused as I have used
GDownloadUrl("callback_miles.php?distance="+ dist,callbackFunction);
On the callback_miles.php page I have just used "$val =
$_GET['distance'];
echo "the distance is: $val";
I am a bit lost, do I need to wtite a call back function ?
Thanks for your time on this, am starting do get a bit desparate
