Depends on what you're using in the backend. if you're using Rails you
can easily return whats needed depending on the kind of request:
if request.xml_http_request?
render :layout => false
The same is of course possible with any other backend language. One or
the other framework for PHP has that already build-in, otherwise you can
still do the following:
if ($_REQUEST['X-REQUESTED-WITH'] == 'XmlHttpRequest') {
// It's an Aja request
}
(can't remember if thats the correct syntax for php)
