hi hans, yes it is asynchronous. the way to call the alert from within parseResponse is the way to do it (at least i do). you could also take a look at the function addXML() described at <http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/samples/get_parse.shtml>, doing the same stuff.
having done a lot of multiple getURL i didn't note any problems. if you need to ensure the presence of any parsed stuff before going on, you can do it after the appendChild(), appendChild() executes without noticable delay. andr� -- ___________________________________________________________________ andre m. winter, <http://www.vectoreal.com/> SVG consulting and development <http://www.carto.net/> online cartography focusing on SVG <http://www.carto.at/> print and online touristic map solutions Hans M.
