hi, i've moved the logic to the handler onComplete but i have several requests with in a for statement, so i supose i would need a synchronous request.
could i have any problem or shoul i take anything into account? ___________ it is a very specific requirement, so i think it doesn't worth to put the code just in case, ive uploaded a snippet of the code im using here: http://grijalbo.freetzi.com/prov/snippet.js ___________ On Jun 30, 12:43 pm, ljundie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi T.J., > > i'll follow your advices and the API Docs ones "Since synchronous > usage is rather unsettling, and usually bad taste, you should avoid > changing this.
