Yes, it ALWAYS returns a 1 ... first. Have a look at this, for example - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-ajaxintro3/ readyState goes through a number of values during the course of a request. The normal treatment is to see when it changes, and each time it does change test its value to see if it is (yet) ready for further processing. It starts at zero, when it changes to 1 it's ready to send. If you trap at this stage (with the alert) your request doesn't even get sent, never mind progress on to value 4 (complete) GDownloadUrl() is a convenience wrapper for the same thing, that listens for state 4 for you. Not a maps issue, nor is the attribute issue, look wider for hints and tips! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
