Then you haven't actually found any AJAX examples. JQuery is a
library of functions, not all of which have anything to do with AJAX.

There is no "local" or "client" AJAX server. There's the client where
the JS is running, and the server the page was loaded from, which
can also serve AJAX requests.

I don't use JQuery, but there's gotta be some examples there :-)
