Steve,
You ultimately don't need to send params to the server side page, you will
just need to account for the returned information.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "some.php",
success: function(msg){
alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
}
});
the success is where you would put your function to handle your return
information.
Now, if this is something you want to do every X amount of minutes or
seconds, just put that in a setInterval function.
Let me know if I understood you correctly.
