interpreting ajax code

I have traced some ajax stuff and I am trying to figure out what it means. I was hoping to translate it into a url but it seems to involve some Get request based on searched I did.

An help appreciated.

**new Ajax.Request(fspring.baseURL+"search/getProfileResults",
  {parameters:{ajax:1,q:_4,page:_5},onStatOK:function(_6){    var _7=new Element("div");

I thought it would be the baseURL in this case

http://helloworld.com/search/getProfileResults and I know it needs two parameters

+1 A:

fspring.baseURL could be anything, so I can't really help you there. It doesn't ring a bell to me for any particular Javascript library.

The parameters object will be converted by Prototype into a querystring, in this case it'll look something like this:

http://helloworld.com/search/getProfileResults?ajax=1&amp;q=_4&amp;page=_5

Except _4 and _5 will be replaced with the variable contents.

An easier way to figure out what's going on would be to just open up the page in Firebug and look in the Console to see what the AJAX query was.

thanks for the response. The query when pasted in url box does not deliver results since it sends the request to the server and requires an authorized account. I have API access but limited to 1000 returns and when I use the GUI option available on the site, the results returned are huge. Now you cannot parse it from the html normally but u see it when using firebug. Just wanted to know if there was a way to automate this so i dont have to cut and paste from firebug.
