Answer 2

You're looking for AJAX.

There are a number of exceptional libraries out there that take most of the work off your hands, I like jQuery, but have a used a few others (Prototype, Dojo etc).

From the jQuery docs:

$.get('ajax/test.html', function(data) {
  $('.result').html(data);
  alert('Load was performed.');
});
