Subject: AJAX without Rails

Hi, I'm pretty new to Ajax.

I need to do some simple web interfaces for some project I have. A
friend told me Rails was a bit to much for what I need, so I'm using
eruby and markaby, and I'm pretty happy, and things are kept pretty
sweet and simple for now.

However I would like to use a little of Ajax, what is the best way to go
about it? How do Ajax work for ruby? seems like rails has support for
Ajax that makes it simple. Can i have the same for my eruby scripts
without having to install any MVC system like Rails or anything?

I would basically would like to use Ajax to send parts of the page to be
process on the server and use the results  to modify how this parts are
shown. For example, send a paragraph from the page to perform named
entity extraction, and then use the results to highlight these named
entities.

Thanks for your time.
