Exactly. That is exactly why I needed that unique parameter.
And to answer the question of 'how' I do it, here's the code (ASP):
DIM AJAX_REQUEST = False
' Look for "x-Requested-With" header sent by jQuery
If InStr(1, Request.ServerVariables("ALL_HTTP"),
"HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH:XMLHttpRequest")>0 Then
AJAX_REQUEST = True
End If
I personally like to use my own custom header just in case the jQuery
implementation changes and the above stops working. So I configure jQuery to
always send a "x-Method" header, with the value "Ajax". So...
DIM AJAX_REQUEST = False
' Look for "x-Requested-With" header sent by jQuery
If InStr(1, Request.ServerVariables("ALL_HTTP"), "HTTP_X_METHOD:Ajax")>0
Then sQuery = sQuery & "&ajax=y"
AJAX_REQUEST = True
End If
And the javascript to configure jQuery is:
$.ajaxSetup({ global:true, headers: {"X-Method":"Ajax"} });
Hope this helps....
