Benjamin, thanks for your reply.
I've started with the $.post func though like this: $.post("/
backend.php",{},function(xml){update_view(xml); } );
then: update_view(xml){
var messages = [] ;
$('message', xml).each( function(i){ //go through each message
$this = $(this); //jquery object.
messages[i] = {
bio: $this.find("bio").text(),
voted:$this.end().find("voted").text()
};
alert (messages[i][voted]);
}
}//end update_view
the alert is outputting an undefined value, and not the text as I
expected. I'll post a solution when I find it, but thanks very much
for your help.
