Document.async

Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.

Non-standard: This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

document.async pode ser configurado para indicar se uma chamada document.load deve ser uma solicitação assíncrona ou síncrona. True é o valor padrão, indicando que os documentos devem ser carregados de forma assíncrona.

(Carregamento de documentos assicronos a partir da versão 1.4 alpha.)

Exemplo

js
function loadXMLData(e) {
  alert(new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(e.target)); // Retorna o conteúdo de querydata.xml em String
}

var xmlDoc = document.implementation.createDocument("", "test", null);

xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.onload = loadXMLData;
xmlDoc.load('querydata.xml');
