First, you probably want to use loadJSONDoc() rather than doSimpleXMLHttpRequest(). The latter returns the actual request object, which has the request result as a parameter while the former will return the data structure you're passing via JSON. You may be confused about the signatures not matching what you're doing. Think of JS as having an automatic *arguments parameter on every function and loadJSONDoc passes them all to doSimple. For the callback function, for..in doesn't work like python in all circumstances and that will probably bite you at some point. Either use for(var i=0; i < x.length;i++) or one of the mochikit iterators like forEach. A minor point, but you can save yourself some typing by replacing document.getElementById() with the $() or (less likely to conflict with another toolkit) getElement(). If you're on firefox, you may be interested in Jesse Rudderman's web development bookmarklets [1] (in particular, I find his shell to be much more usable than the Mochi one) and Joe Hewitt's FireBug extension[2]. You may also want to glance through Crockford's intro to the language [3] and possibly Simon Willison's overview [4] (which I haven't seen yet, so I make no promises).
