In > xml i think it has to be? the response doesn't have to be in any particular form ... ofcourse the X in AJAX refers to XML but it's not obligatory .... in the end your just spitting out a big long string and your clientside code can do with it whatever it wants. personally I prefer JSON formatted data, for which there are even a couple of functions available in newer versions of php (otherwise you can find code on the net easily enough to handle JSON data creation/parsing): http://php.net/json
I prefer not to do a lot of processing in Javascript, what i usually do is send plain HTML and directly output it inside a <div> Tijnema
