AJAX=Asynchronous Javascript and XML

Yes. A lot of what happens with AJAX is that you activate a control the 
script sends a request to the server, and then it uses the XML return 
from the server to create a user interface.

The IBM Developer Works Site has a bunch of articles on AJAX if you're 
interested.
