Yeah, as you said, that's not really unit testing.  The whole point of  
unit testing is to ensure that sections of code are working properly  
so I don't have to worry about them ever again as I use them in  
conjunction with other sections of code.  I can't really be confident  
the production code is working properly if I tested something slightly  
different.  But I don't see a way to test code with AJAX calls without  
changing the code itself, as you suggested.  Apparently no one does  
real unit testing on AJAX calls.  Thanks anyway.

Peace,
