I like to use the "sajax" toolkit [1]. It simplifies the whole thing so
it's just like calling a PHP function with a JavaScript function. I
suppose you might say that "AJAX" is the "CORBA" of the JavaScript world
(blasphemy, maybe...).
Here's an example of my work with AJAX:

functional code is mine :) )
