Um, the XMLHttpRequest object is rather ubiquitous nowadays, so there's no need to fall back to ActiveX objects, unless support for IE 6 is absolutely needed -- however, there are users who have JavaScript disabled, so a pure HTML fallback is reasonable anyway. IMO, jQuery doesn't really simplify Ajax requests, and particularly $.get() is deceptive, because it doesn't offer an error parameter, so error handling is easily overlooked. -- Christoph M. Becker
