Calling PHP scripts from Javascript without leaving current page

I\'m having some trouble calling PHP scripts from Javascript without leaving the current HTML page (if it is at all possible). I understand it is possible using AJAX, althou

Just happened to have the same issue, so I came up with something like that. All you have to do is add the code you need, and assign the do_the_script function to the onclick event.

As you may have noticed, the code that "calls" the address is executed every 1 second. This, is to ensure that the call is made enough times so as to get a single positive answer, call the doneHandler and clear the interval afterwards. If you believe that your server can respond faster or slower you should change those milliseconds accordingly.
