Thanks for your answers. I'm pretty sure my ajax call is done, thanks
to firebug (which is great by the way) and a few 'alert'. I suspected
extra white space (I must try a javascript trim...) at the end of my
string, I'll try JSON (must learn about it before). Great idea to
return an array too, with several identified chunks of data, it should
be handy for me. By the way, do you know good links about constructing
'heavily ajaxed' applications, managing and formatting data ? I'll
soon have to deal with this kind of project. But first JSON and
arrays...
thx again
