jQuery is a very good javascript library which provides several APIs along with post request from javascript...
Attached is a very simple example. (put all files in one directory and open jspost.html)
for more info check

The calling AJAX method
function ajaxFunction() {
if(xmlhttp) {
var txtname = document.getElementById("txtname");
xmlhttp.open("POST","getname",true); //getname will be the servlet name
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = handleServerResponse;
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
xmlhttp.send("txtname=" + txtname.value); //Posting txtname to Servlet
}
}
Inside the Servlet getname
if(request.getParameter("txtname") != null) {
name = request.getParameter("txtname");
}
else {
name = "";
}
out.println("You have successfully made Ajax Call:" + name);

this is what i was looking for
There are many implementatios available, a short list would be:
- Prototype: http://www.prototypejs.org/
- Scriptaculous: http://script.aculo.us/
- Dojo: http://www.dojotoolkit.org/
There are many others, but I think any of the later would do the work. Of course you can also do it manually, coding all of it, but why reinvent the wheel when it's already available for free?
