I just pulled the two old lines of code out. I am going to have to disagree about loading sync vs async though. What we had done in this demo was converted a motion capture file from .trc format into an xml file, from which we could then read which marker was where in what frame. So we needed the file to be loaded before we could display the data from it. By loading synchronously we guaranteed that the data would be there when we needed it, without having to add extraneous event listeners to call an extra function when the file was ready (which would delay the page from working until the data was ready anyway). I will take a look at jQuery for further updates though. Thanks. I just pulled the two old lines of code out. I am going to have to disagree about loading sync vs async though.

And you should of course load the files async. Usage of XmlHttpRequest is pretty well documented.

You could have also used JQuery to do the XML parsing.
