Tim,

What I would try first would be to:
- invoke that URL in a child window so I could see the contents;
- grab the child's document.body.innerHTML;
- close the child;
- split the data list into an array using sDataBlob.split("<BR>");
- split each row into its own array using sDataRow.split(",").

Would that get you what you want?

Paul
