/**
 * AJAX Magic function
 * Created By Peter Downie
 * www.peterdownie.com
 * http://lib.peterdownie.com/ajaxMagic.php
 * AJAX must be used on the same domain, details must be exactly the same www.x.com is not the same as x.com or any other variant or even https compared to http
 * @name ajax
 * @example var y = new ajax("t",est.html","","",false)
 * Please note that the final argument is very important, if it is true it calls a function as soon as it finishes
 * if not the program waits until the function is finished and then continues on that funcion
 * @example ajax("test.html",onCallFunction,true)
 * Please note that it would nice if you added a spinning sign or a text that says loading before you call the function.
 * @author Peter Downie
 * @version 1.06
 * @date Sept 11 2010
 * @param page The page to post to
 * @param postValues The values to post to the function uses F=X&Y=2
 * @param finishedFunction What to call when the function finishes
 * @param async If true the function does not wait for the response and continues
 *

function ajax(page,postValues,finishedFunction,async)
{
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest){// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
        xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
    }else{// code for IE6, IE5
        xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
    {
        if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
        {
            finishedFunction(xmlhttp.responseText);
        }

    }
    xmlhttp.open("POST",page+"?random="+Math.random()+"&"+postValues,async);
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    xmlhttp.send(postValues);
    if(async == false)
    {
        return xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
}

there will be a test of the function here! Right now this is powered by javascript! not ajax!
