Help about XML

I am trying to put some weather information about major city on my web site

i fetch the info in a xml file on a independant server..

my weather code is in the middle of my page and parsing xml file take some seconds and this slow the load of my page.

does he have a way to run a script or a function independantly of the rest of my document ?

temporary solution i found is to put my data as image
<img src="myscript.php"> this is working my page load then the script continue independantly but i need some variable information that are saved in the myscript.php and i can'T recuperate them

i prefere do not use image, most of data getted in xml file are text.. but as i say above, this slow my script...

anyone have hint or suggestion?

hmm - sure there is nothing you can do to speed up the parsing of the file? Only thing I can think of is using <IFRAME> ...

yes that could be a solution

this is one of my spare solution but this is not supported only by most recent browser..

thanks for the quick reply

anyone else ?
how can i run a script or function independently of the rest of my main page

... in want that my page load then don'T be interupt by a long script in the middle of my page

div style='visibility:hidden;'
/div

you could also have a script run via cron, so the xml data is downloaded to a local file, therefore only the local file is parsed. I think the bottleneck is the http request, and not the parsing.
