Can I use something other than "div" as the first argument to the AJAX.Updater call?  Prototype document states "AJAX.Updater Performs an AJAX request and updates a containers contents based on the response text", but it didn't explain what qualify as a container.  I need to update a text input field that displays data retrieved from a PHP function. 

How to update a text input field with AJAX.update or AJAX.PeriodicalUpdater?

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a group of interrelated Web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous Web applications. With AJAX, web applications can send data to and retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The Document Object Model (DOM) is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display and allow interaction with the information presented.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
