/*****************************************************************************************          Script to import XML data files and make them available to JavaScript                     v2.0.3 written by Mark Wilton-Jones, 13/04/2004Updated 02/07/2004 to provide native Safari 1.2 and Opera 7.6 support using XMLHttpRequest                   Updated 24/07/2004 to prevent a Safari caching bug      Updated 02/10/2004 to include support for older Internet Explorer XML objects Updated 09/11/2004 to allow a delay for better response in browsers that use the iframe******************************************************************************************Please see http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/jslibs/ for details and a demo of this scriptPlease see http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/tutorials/jsexamples/importingXML.html for a demo and descriptionPlease see http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/jslibs/termsOfUse.html for terms of useTo use this, insert the following into the head of your document:<script type="text/javascript"><!--//for older browsers like Netscape 4 ... if you carewindow.onerror = function () { return true; }//--></script><script src="PATH TO SCRIPT/importxml.js" type="text/javascript"></script>This header file provides one function:var canItWork = importXML( string: locationOfXMLFile, string: nameOfFunction[, optional boolean: allowCache[, optional boolean: delay]] );eg.var canItWork = importXML( 'myXML.xml', 'runThis' );To support (Internet) Explorer 5 on Mac, the XML file should use a stylesheet:<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="blank.css"?>Although that stylesheet could in fact be completely empty. Failure to do this will produce errors when youtry to manipulate the DOM of the XML file.When the xml file has loaded, the named function will be run, and will be passed a reference to the documentobject of the XML file. You can then manipulate the data in the file using W3C DOM scripting.Browsers may cache the XML files (with Safari, the import fails if the file is already cached by the current page).To prevent this, the script adds a timestamp to the end of each request URL (changes every millisecond).If you do not want this timestamp to be added, pass the value 'true' as a third parameter.var canItWork = importXML( 'myXML.xml', 'runThis', true );This is not recommended.Browsers that use the iframe may have problems if the XML takes a long time to load, as they will attempt toaccess the data before it is ready. If you know that this might happen, you can use the delay parameter tomake the script wait for the specified amount of time before attemting to use the data, hopefully giving theXML the chance to load. For example, to introduce a 2 second delay:var canItWork = importXML( 'myXML.xml', 'runThis', false, 2000 );_______________________________________________________________________________________*/var MWJ_ldD = [];function importXML( oURL, oFunct, oNoRand, oDelay ) {	//note: in XML importing event handlers, 'this' refers to window	if( !oNoRand ) { oURL += ( ( oURL.indexOf('?') + 1 ) ?
