I know I could roll my own (I have done my share of ajax), but at a
certain level it seems like a waste of time if someone else has already
packaged it into something that frees me from having to write
boilerplate JavaScript code. It's even better if it's a suite of tools
that use a similar approach, so I don't have to learn a new API for each
component. I guess I should have been more specific. Thanks for the url,
I'll evaluate it.

Google yui - there are a dozen others, but I have taken a preference
to Yahoo's yui libraries. It uses prototype, so is a little
higher-level than just using prototype, and I know they have a module
that does what you're looking to do.
It sounds like these are probably what you're looking for in this case,
but if you're looking for a more generic AJAX helper for PHP, I highly
recommend xajax. It gives you a javascript binding for any php function
you register with it, and then handles all the data marshaling for you.
Your responses can include everything from raw javascript to execute to
DOM variable assignments and the like. We've found it extremely helpful.
Also, if any of you are in Utah, or otherwise interested, there is a Utah
PHP Users group that has a lot of resources (including a mailing list and
IRC chat) for all sorts of web development topics. It is not strictly PHP
centered, just be warned that insisting that ASP.NET is what we should all
be using will not get you a warm welcome. ;) Try uphpu.org for more
information.
Thanks,
Mac
