[jQuery] Ajax Update

[jQuery] Ajax Update


Hello Everyone,
I am doing some research on JavaScript library, concentrating on
jQuery / MooTools and Prototype JS and I was wondering what is
jQuery's equivalent to Prototype JS's Ajax.Updater.
A simple method to update an id selector; this nav contains an
"active" class to highlight and deactivate the button. When a new
button is selected, the new gets "activated" while the old gets
"deactivated"
====
var url = "update_nav.php";
var pars = "active=thisbutton";
var myAjax = new Ajax.Updater("nav", url, {method: 'post', parameters:
pars});
<ul class="nav">
<li class="active">jQuery</li>
<li>MooTools</li>
<li">Prototype JS</li>
</ul>
====
I did find this post about a pluging called tabs,

but i don't always use this method for menu items.
