JS is generally synchronous, but certain actions are not. In most web browsers, the following will make a request for the image immediately, asyncrhonously: var foo = new Image(); foo.src='whee.gif'; //other JS code here in the same statement block Similarly, getURL() is an asynchronous call. I don't know if ASV or other UAs fetch external xlink:href data asynchronously right after the line of code setting it is called, but I suspect so. -- Gavin Kistner @ Refinery, Inc. gavin@refinery.com work: +1.303.444.1777
