Ooops, it was late.. :)

Link to basic information, a list of sites using it and a list of toolkits:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)

Further information about what I did:
I used an XMLHttpRequest-connection from tiki-register.php to show the user on 
the fly (while typing), if the username is already taken. As excercise I did 
the same with the email-adress (it gets checked server-side while typing, not 
by a JS in the browser, the JS does the connection/communication with the 
server only).
Before comitting it, I would like to clean it up more. Especially move more 
logic to the backend, the Javascript still does too much imho - and it 
doesn't allow for translation of the messages yet(since I handle display 
completely in the frontend).
If anyone nevertheless wants to have CVS polluted by this, let me know.
