Fallout Studios Forums

While i am aware that you can't just start adding php to a site using a javascript, there must be some sort of method of sending and receiving data without having to refresh the page. For example, this very forum, when you use the quick edit function, a textarea appears, then you can hit the edit button (too lazy to find out what it actually says, so that may be wrong) and the data is sent off without having to refresh the page.

Is this done with javascript? How is it done? Can data also be received/retrieved using this method?

Help, as usual, will be much appreciated

I'd often wondered what AJAX was, since i'd seen it referenced to when searching for JS stuff... guess its another set of functions to learn D:
