Greetings all.
This method uses the same php page to handle all ajax requests,and should be saved as "index.php" accordingly. I am not sure of the security implications, but if anything, I feel this is very handy. Also, I hope you find the usage of "serialize()" as useful as I have. This example requires php, and also the scriptaculous library -
