/*
	TODO: Further optimize serialize function
	
	UPDATE: We were forced to create an individual XHR for each request 
	to avoid race conditions on slower browsers where the request would 
	be overwritten before the callback triggered, and leave it hanging. 
	This only happened in FF3.0 that we tested.

	Example usage 1:
	ajax.handle = function () {
		$('#preview' + postid).raw().innerHTML = ajax.response;
		$('#editbox' + postid).hide();	
	}
	ajax.post("ajax.php?action=preview","#form-id" + postid);
	
	Example usage 2:
	ajax.handle = function() {
		$('#quickpost').raw().value = "[quote="+username+"]" + ajax.response + "[/quote]";
	}
	ajax.get("?action=get_post&post=" + postid);
