Thanks Dom, as a standalone product, boy it sure is the right tool for 
the job. I just need  to fool around with some markup. I will look at 
the two javascript recipes that exist already first and checkout their 
markup to get a handle.

I am surprise that with the big buzz word 'Ajax' out there no one has 
thrown a recipe together to encapsulate that animal. I do know that at 
least the cookbook recipe has an option to use it.

I am looking at that stuff now, as an aside, maybe I can cut something. 
But like everybody time is a tight commodity. I am new to this area but 
after reading some Ajax manual\books and tested some code it seems 
forward enough.  Still I'm new and swimming thru the two code layers of 
pmWiki.
