Hey everybody

I got a little problem. I want to use "FindNearbyPostalCodes" from geonames.org.

I have 2 textboxes (for lat & lng) and a submit button to submit the lat & lng to URL. I'm using AJAX. First I want to get the XML datas from geonames.org to my site. If this is successful, I do another AJAX post to display the XML data from geonames.org. So I got this code:

Code:

 var lat = $('#lat').val();
 var lng = $('#lng').val();
 var test;
 $.ajax({
 	url: "http://api.geonames.org/findNearbyPostalCodes",
 	type: "GET",
 	data: {lat: lat, lng: lng, radius: 20, maxRows: 100, country: "CH", username: "bbag8274"},
 	success: function(scriptData, textStatus, jqXHR){
 
 	        // second
 			
 	        alert($.parseXML( test ));
 	        $.ajax({
 		        url: "test_data.php",
 		        type: "POST",
 		        data: {xmldata: test},
 		        contentType: "text/xml",
 		        success: function(secondScriptData, textStatus, jqXHR){
 			        alert(secondScriptData);
 		        },
 					
 		        error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
 			        alert('Unknown error, report it!');
 		        }
 	        });
 				
 	        // end second
 				
 	},
 	error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
 		alert('fail');
 	}
 });

The variable "test" I created so I can look what it alerts me. And thats the point. It always returns me "null". I don't know if there is a programming mistake or where it is or if it is something with the WebService connection? I can't figure it out.

Hope someone could help

Thanks
