what are you trying to do?

----from your site-------------

Although this should be easy, the choice of doing this without any backend
code is proving diffecult. My plan was to build a Google Maps mashup with
live travel information.

Using XMLHttpRequest against the TPEG data (tpeg because this gives
Longitude and Latitude coordinates) proved diffecult. The requestXML
validation process fails to load the DTD, and as the TPEG file contains non
standard data the DTD is required. Using "validateOnParse=true" didn't
solve the problem.

Reverting to "Microsoft.XMLDOM" solved the problem, allowing navigation of
the DOM Tree.


Problem 1. Although we now have the problem of accessing a remote xml file
http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/tpeg/en/local/rtm/devon_tpeg.xml which meant
the Firefox, and most Mozilla browsers, woldn't work. IE to the rescue this
allows you to accept the parseing of a remote file.

Problem 2. "Microsoft.XMLDOM" load wouldn't work async. (i need to solve
this)

Here we are so far, a few hours work and a travel mashup.
