I'm not sure of the question either, but if you're trying to retrieve data
from a server without reloading the page, then that's hard with JavaScript
alone. (In some browsers you might be able to load a new small frame and
retrieve the data from there, but some browsers have security restrictions
on how one frame can read the contents of another frame.)

This is one of the places where Flash is handy, because it can do live
network requests and display the results without reloading the page.
