Alex:
I think you're looking for something a bit simpler. jQuery, without
the aid of any additional plugins, has all of the tools necessary for
developing an AJAX solution to work with any platform, PHP included.
Below, I've included some example code for how you would accomplish
what you originally asked for (delivering different forms based on
click):
JavaScript:
$(function(){ // Same as window.onload
$('a').click(function(){ // Same as onclick
// Send request to input.ajax.php with variables sid and form, then run the
// following anonymous function on successful completion, 'html' being the
// output of input.ajax.php
$.get('input.ajax.php',{sid:<session
id>,form:$(this).attr('id')},function(html){
// Find div with class formwrapper, empty the contents, append 'html'
$('div.formwrapper').empty().append(html);
}); // End get
// Prevent click propagation
return false;
}); // End click
}); // End window.onload
HTML:
<a href="#" id="form1" class="formclick">Form One</a>
<a href="#" id="form2" class="formclick">Form Two</a>
<div class="formwrapper"></div>
PHP (input.ajax.php):
<?php
// Handle session variables using $_GET['sid']
switch($_GET['form']) {
case 'form1':
// echo HTML for Form One
break;
case 'form2':
// echo HTML for Form Two
break;
...
}
?>
Hopefully that helps, you may want to consider reading up on exactly
how AJAX works and the jQuery documentation.

Thanks Richard. I don't know if I am 100% sure how someone puts jqPie
into action. Would I write my handler.php to include all the objects
and session information I need and it interfaces with jQuery?
