/*
     General AJAX technique samples--how to talk to the server + return data and do stuff with it.
     Direct questions, answers, rants, flames to sbenfield@clearnova.com

      1.0: 2005-07-14   Initial Release
      1.1: 2005-07-15   Fixed bugs, changed text for clarity, added ability to register for updates
      1.2: 2005-07-21   Cleaned up samples for clarity. Original version was all over the board using all sorts of different ways of calling XMLHTTPRequest
                        This version is cleaner. Only ping uses its own custom AJAX handling, everything else uses AJAXRequest
			Added many many comments
			
     If you find any bugs or have any ideas of enhancement--send them on.
