peepz,

i have this script to get data from XML:

```auto

if(categoryID == "")
{
 _global.categoryID = 1;
}

var photoXML = new XML();
photoXML.categoryID = categoryID;
photoXML.ignoreWhite = true;

photoXML.sendAndLoad("includes/photo_gallery_photos.php", photoXML, "POST");

photoXML.onLoad = function (success) {
 if (success) {
  
  parseFile(photoXML);
  showArray();
 }
}

```

in the function “showArray()” im tracing ap.length and it returns “0” but if change the rule in the code above to:

```auto

photoXML.load("includes/photo_gallery_photos.php?categoryID=1");

```

i get all my XML data back, what im doing wrong?

hope somebody can help!

thnx!
