YVW Robert.  Be aware of "gotchas" such as that JSON is the default 
$data type and its syntax is very unforgiving.   What gets returned as 
the $msg is whatever text is generated by your PHP file.  So if you do 
an AJAX POST to a PHP script that prints out "This AJAX stuff really is 
easy" that text will get passed right back into your success method and 
you can dump it into a div or whatever you need to do.
