        Taken <a href="http://www.slash7.com/articles/2005/10/07/design-your-software-mdash-please">from</a> the great <a href="http://www.slash7.com/">Amy Hoy</a>.


<h2>ajax replacing link</h2>
<a href="backend.php?return=time" 
   onclick="new Ajax.Updater('testdiv', 'backend.php?return=time',
   {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true }); return false;">
This link updates a line</a>
<div id="testdiv"></div>

With no JavaScript turned on, it'll go to the normal URL. Without, it'll do an XMLHTTPRequest and put the result in #testdiv.
