"AJAX" is a funny little beast - it refers to scripting the XMLHttpRequest object. It doesn't do a POST, it fires off another request, "behind the scenes", so that the user doesn't see any page refresh.

I guess AJAX was it. I remember working with the XMLHttpRequest. My first intentions was to create a form, because I have seen examples of 'dummy' forms created which do basically the same thing I was looking for. Either way I appreciate the replies.
