XMLHttpRequest for The Masses 

all in the <head>: "With the advent of Google Suggest it seems that the industry has deemed that client-side XML HTTP is ready for the prime time. The technology is nothing new, of course, and has been part of every server-side developer's standard toolkit for years, but whilst some browsers have maintained support for XML HTTP for a few years, it's only recently that support has been widespread enough to utilise.

Interestingly enough, the XMLHttpRequest is not part of any public standard. The W3C DOM Level 3 'Load and Save' spec covers similar ground, but you know how long these things take to get implemented. At the time of writing, if you need to use XML HTTP from a user agent, then the XMLHttpRequest object is the only way you can do it. "
