XML DOM async Property
Document Object
Definition and Usage
The async property specifies whether downloading of an XML file should be handled asynchronously or not.
True means that the load() method returns the control to the caller before the download is complete.
False means that the download must be completed before the caller gets the control back.
Syntax
documentObject.async
Example
The following code fragment loads "books.xml" into xmlDoc using loadXMLDoc(). The loadXMLDoc() function uses the async property:
function loadXMLDoc(dname)
{
try //Internet Explorer
{
xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
}
catch(e)
{
try //Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, etc.
{
xmlDoc=document.implementation.createDocument("","",null);
}
catch(e) {alert(e.message)}
}
try
{
xmlDoc.async=false;
xmlDoc.load(dname);
return(xmlDoc);
}
catch(e) {alert(e.message)}
return(null);
}
{
try //Internet Explorer
{
xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
}
catch(e)
{
try //Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, etc.
{
xmlDoc=document.implementation.createDocument("","",null);
}
catch(e) {alert(e.message)}
}
try
{
xmlDoc.async=false;
xmlDoc.load(dname);
return(xmlDoc);
}
catch(e) {alert(e.message)}
return(null);
}
