Spry.Utils.loadURL userData

Question

is it possible (and how) to get the userData property back to
my success-script?
Spry.Utils.loadURL("GET",
"/updater.cfm?"+formfield+"="+encodeURIComponent(fieldcontent),
false, checkstatus, {userData: "4711"});
function checkstatus(request) {
var fieldcontent = request.xhRequest.responseText;
var userdata = ?????

Hi Kate,
I'm guessing this is related to your validation function
post, so I'm going to give an example with that assumption:
function MyValidationFunction(value, options)
// Call loadURL() to validate the username synchronously.
Notice
// that I passed a false for the 3rd arg to force the
request to be
// processed synchronously.
var request = Spry.Utils.loadURL("POST",
"userExists.cfm?name=" + encodeURIComponent(value), false);
// The assumption here is that the server is going to reply
// with the word "true" (Content-Type: text/plain) if the
name
// already exists, or "false" if it doesn't already exist.
If
// you want to get fancy and return a response wrapped in
XML,
// or some other format, you'll have to parse it out
yourself.
// Since this validation function needs to return "true" if
the
// name doesn't exist, we need to make sure we don't get a
"true" value back!
return request.xhRequest.responseText != "true";
