/**
    @fileoverview
    This JavaScript file represents the core browser-side functionality
    supplied by Taconite. In general, the tools in this file wrap an instance
    of XMLHttpRequest object and provide utility methods for gather data from
    form elements to be sent to the server as par of an Ajax request.
*/

/**
    Constructor for the AjaxRequest class. 

    <br><br>
    Example:

    <br><br>
    var ajaxRequest = new AjaxRequest("YOUR_URL");

    @class The AjaxRequest object wraps an instance of XMLHttpRequest and provides 
    facilities for setting functions that are called before a request is made
    and after a request returns. By default, AjaxRequest handles the server
    response by simply calling eval(), passing to it the responseText from 
    the XMLHttpRequestObject, of course assuming that the response was 
    generated by Taconite on the server side and that running eval() will 
    update the web page.<br><br>Example Usage:<br><br>var ajaxRequest = new AjaxRequest("YOUR_URL");
    <br>ajaxRequest.addFormElements("form_element_id_attribute_value");
    <br>ajaxRequest.sendRequest();

    @constructor
    @param {String} a String repesenting the URL to which the Ajax request
    will be sent.
