*
- * (String) type - The type of request to make (e.g. "POST" or "GET").
+ * $.ajax() returns the XMLHttpRequest that it creates. In most cases you won't
+ * need that object to manipulate directly, but it is available if you need to
+ * abort the request manually.
*
- * (String) url - The URL of the page to request.
- *
- * (String) data - A string of data to be sent to the server (POST only).
+ * '''Note:''' If you specify the dataType option described below, make sure
+ * the server sends the correct MIME type in the response (eg. xml as "text/xml").
+ * Sending the wrong MIME type can lead to unexpected problems in your script.
+ * See [[Specifying the Data Type for AJAX Requests]] for more information.
+ *
+ * Supported datatypes are (see dataType option):
+ *
+ * "xml": Returns a XML document that can be processed via jQuery.
+ *
+ * "html": Returns HTML as plain text, included script tags are evaluated.
+ *
+ * "script": Evaluates the response as Javascript and returns it as plain text.
+ *
+ * "json": Evaluates the response as JSON and returns a Javascript Object
+ *
+ * $.ajax() takes one argument, an object of key/value pairs, that are
+ * used to initalize and handle the request. These are all the key/values that can
+ * be used:
+ *
+ * (String) url - The URL to request.
+ *
+ * (String) type - The type of request to make ("POST" or "GET"), default is "GET".
*
* (String) dataType - The type of data that you're expecting back from
- * the server (e.g. "xml", "html", "script", or "json").
+ * the server. No default: If the server sends xml, the responseXML, otherwise
+ * the responseText is passed to the success callback.
*
* (Boolean) ifModified - Allow the request to be successful only if the
- * response has changed since the last request, default is false, ignoring
- * the Last-Modified header
+ * response has changed since the last request. This is done by checking the
+ * Last-Modified header. Default value is false, ignoring the header.
*
- * (Number) timeout - Local timeout to override global timeout, eg. to give a
- * single request a longer timeout while all others timeout after 1 seconds,
- * see $.ajaxTimeout
+ * (Number) timeout - Local timeout in milliseconds to override global timeout, eg. to give a
+ * single request a longer timeout while all others timeout after 1 second.
+ * See $.ajaxTimeout() for global timeouts.
*
- * (Boolean) global - Wheather to trigger global AJAX event handlers for
- * this request, default is true. Set to true to prevent that global handlers
+ * (Boolean) global - Whether to trigger global AJAX event handlers for
