Jim, You are correct the xmlhttprequest is a post to a page to handle the request. I was thinking of forms when I wrote my first post.
JavaScript posts the information to a page, presumably a cfm, which processes the request then replies with a mime type of xml and xml only. My apologies for any confusion.
