This might not be exactly what you need but it may help. I have made and implemented an ajax cart on a shopify site I develop for. I use jquery & JSON to do this type of stuff and here's what I do:

jQuery.getJSON('/cart.js', function (cart, textStatus) {
  //the cart info is in the callback. the item_count is available as part of the callback
  //below I set my cartcount div with the current cart item_count
  var carttext=cart.item_count;
  jQuery("#cartcount").text(carttext);
});
