help porting from prototype to jquery - ajax.request

Hi,

Very new to JS let alone the various libraries... I am trying to port to Jquery but have got completely stuck!! Can anyone point me in the right direction? or specify a function I should use? I'm very interested in learning but there is just so much to take on that its a bit overwhelming...

My prototype code:
getServerTime : function(){
     try{
      var req = new Ajax.Request(NTP.serverUrl,{
          onSuccess : NTP.parseServerResponse,
     method : "get",
     parameters : "t=" + NTP.getNow()
          });
      }
      catch(e){
         return false;
         //prototype.js not available
      }
  },


This basically gets the result t from a small PHP appends NTP.getnow()

I need to achieve the same thing either by normal javascript or jquery..
heres where I got to qith jquery.. I know its a mess :/

getServerTime : function () {
       $.ajax({
           type:    'GET',
           url:      './gettime.php?t',
           success: NTP.parseServerResponse,
          data: 't=' + NTP.getNow (),  }),
}


Can anyone help please? would be very much appreciated.. [/code]
