in thread Moving cgi data between variables in differnt frames.

ActiveX is IE/Win32 only, but recent versions of most JavaScript capable browsers implement XMLHttpRequest using other techniques these days. Jim Ley has a good introduction.

It doesn't really give you a great deal in the way of benefits over just using a hidden iframe though. (And I wouldn't suggest either technique without a decent non-JS fallback solution.
