    tricky javascript situation

    On the backend I have a python script that gets two pieces of
    information from the database:
    1. html
    2. xml file

    The javascript is supposed to :
    1. inject the html file into a div
    2. use the xml file to create markers on google maps

    I want to avoid multiple calls to the database, so I was wondering, if
    there was anyway I could get javascript to recieve both files at once
    from python (and if it was possible for python to send two files in
    one request).

    I hope that makes sense, I didn't really know how to summarize it for
    a brief subject line :-/

    thanks in advance!

      You could embed the HTML markup declared as CDATA in the XML markup.

      That's a pity.

          You could make the to calls, and join the result in a single XML:
          <2callsin1>
          <xmldata>...... </ xmldata>
          <htmldata>..... </ htmldata>
          </ 2callsin1>

              What is your purpose in just reiterating what I said, but in gibberish and
              invalid code, while foolishly continuing to quote signatures, despite my
              previous explicit asking you to stop doing that?

              Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people
              who don't know javascript. People who don't know javascript are not
              the best source of advice on designing systems that use javascript.

                  Would you pleas explain, what you mean by 'Score adjusted'?

                  What happens to you, if the signature is quoted? Do you become
                  ill, angry, get headace or something else? You have repeated
                  your command 'do not quote signatures' many times, so I might
                  help here somewhat:

                  'do not quote signatures'
                  'do not quote signatures'
                  'do not quote signatures'
                  'do not quote signatures'
                  'do not quote signatures'
