Jim, thanks for confirming. Good to know that I don't need any additional js libraries. So I use the usual transfer mechanisms (.getURL and XMLHttpRequest()) depending on what's available and instead of XML just transfer javascripts objects and arrays.
You wrote that this substantially faster than having to parse it first. Looking forward to test this. I will continue to use XML for plain SVG to be appended in the DOM tree, but will now use JSON format to be used in ECMAScript for processing. I read about the "JSONRequest" object (http://www.json.org/JSONRequest.html) currently this is just a proposal that perhaps will be implemented in a future browser? Thanks for you quick and competent answer, Andreas > yes, that's it, or use new Function rather than eval, there's nothing more > complicated, there are other ways of retrieving it - loading a new script > element which requires an extension to json, but allows cross domain. Do you have an example for this extension. I read that the MS XMLHTTPRequest object allows to access other domains and there are some workarounds for Mozilla. Or are you talking about another extension? Not that I need cross domain access currently, but maybe it would be interesting for some future work. Andreas ------------------------ Yahoo!
