this is probably a dumb question since im new to javascript

i would really like to pass a variable with my call back to a json service. so like &callback=myfunction(mydiv)

i cant figure out how to reference the response and a passed variable.

function myfunction(response,mydiv) { //this of course doesnt work

}

is this possible, anybody got an example around?

there is an example here: http://www.geonames.org/export/ajax-postalcode-autocomplete.html

thanks but i dont think you understand what i am asking for. i have seen the page you sent me and i have already implemented something like that, but what i would like to do is pass a variable through the call back like this..

request = 'http://www.geonames.org/postalCodeLookupJSON?postalcode=' + postalcode + '&country=' + country + '&callback=getLocation(result,divtoloadresultin)';

the line above is from the example page you sent me but with

the app i am working on is here
