/**
* Load a remote page using an HTTP request.
*
* This is jQuery's low-level AJAX implementation. See $.get, $.post etc. for
* higher-level abstractions.
*
* $.ajax() returns the XMLHttpRequest that it creates. In most cases you won't
* need that object to manipulate directly, but it is available if you need to
* abort the request manually.
*
* Note: Make sure the server sends the right mimetype (eg. xml as
* "text/xml"). Sending the wrong mimetype will get you into serious
* trouble that jQuery can't solve.
*
* Supported datatypes are (see dataType option):
*
* "xml": Returns a XML document that can be processed via jQuery.
*
* "html": Returns HTML as plain text, included script tags are evaluated.
*
* "script": Evaluates the response as Javascript and returns it as plain text.
*
* "json": Evaluates the response as JSON and returns a Javascript Object
*
* $.ajax() takes one argument, an object of key/value pairs, that are
* used to initalize and handle the request. These are all the key/values that can
* be used:
*
* (String) url - The URL to request.
*
* (String) type - The type of request to make ("POST" or "GET"), default is "GET".
*
* (String) dataType - The type of data that you're expecting back from
* the server. No default: If the server sends xml, the responseXML, otherwise
* the responseText is passed to the success callback.
*
* (Boolean) ifModified - Allow the request to be successful only if the
* response has changed since the last request. This is done by checking the
* Last-Modified header. Default value is false, ignoring the header.
*
* (Number) timeout - Local timeout to override global timeout, eg. to give a
* single request a longer timeout while all others timeout after 1 second.
* See $.ajaxTimeout() for global timeouts.
*
* (Boolean) global - Whether to trigger global AJAX event handlers for
* this request, default is true. Set to false to prevent that global handlers
* like ajaxStart or ajaxStop are triggered.
*
* (Function) error - A function to be called if the request fails. The
* function gets passed tree arguments: The XMLHttpRequest object, a
* string describing the type of error that occurred and an optional
* exception object, if one occured.
*
* (Function) success - A function to be called if the request succeeds. The
* function gets passed one argument: The data returned from the server,
* formatted according to the 'dataType' parameter.
*
* (Function) complete - A function to be called when the request finishes. The
* function gets passed two arguments: The XMLHttpRequest object and a
* string describing the type of success of the request.
*
* (Object|String) data - Data to be sent to the server. Converted to a query
* string, if not already a string. Is appended to the url for GET-requests.
* See processData option to prevent this automatic processing.
*
* (String) contentType - When sending data to the server, use this content-type.
* Default is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", which is fine for most cases.
*
* (Boolean) processData - By default, data passed in to the data option as an object
* other as string will be processed and transformed into a query string, fitting to
* the default content-type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". If you want to send
* DOMDocuments, set this option to false.
*
* (Boolean) async - By default, all requests are send asynchronous (set to true).
* If you need synchronous requests, set this option to false.
*
* (Function) beforeSend - A pre-callback to set custom headers etc., the
* XMLHttpRequest is passed as the only argument.
*
* @example $.ajax({
* type: "GET",
* url: "test.js",
* dataType: "script"
* })
* @desc Load and execute a JavaScript file.
*
* @example $.ajax({
* type: "POST",
* url: "some.php",
* data: "name=John&location=Boston",
* success: function(msg){
* alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
* }
* });
* @desc Save some data to the server and notify the user once its complete.
*
* @example var html = $.ajax({
* url: "some.php",
* async: false
* }).responseText;
* @desc Loads data synchronously. Blocks the browser while the requests is active.
* It is better to block user interaction with others means when synchronization is
* necessary, instead to block the complete browser.
