accessing a server from javascript

[Andy Fish]

Hi,

I have seen web pages sites, when you drop down a list box, it seems to go
back to the server to retrieve some data without reloading the whole page
(e.g. select make of car and it retrieves a list of models from the server
to populate another list box)

Can someone enlighten me as to how this is done?

Andy
