Are you seriously considering special casing each individual response code as and when a case is made for it being useful for the client? I think that to do that is just asking for ongoing trouble. Just make it generic: create a new event if you don't want to re-use the already overburdened, overloaded and Byzantine readystatechange event. It'll be easier to implement and forward compatible, so the problem'll be solved for all time. -- Stewart Brodie Software Engineer ANT Software Limited
