Yes he can. OP can do other things as well, but OP _CAN_ do as I 
suggested for the purposes of testing javascript / jquery ajax.

I didn't say that was the only thing he could do.

Technically you're just requesting a response, which may or may not 
include a body, but unless you want to write your own parser to convert 
the body you're sending from your server into data for your javascript to 
use on the client, json and xml tend to be the two formats that javascript 
can process natively.

Having said that, you can eg send a b64 encoded jpg image and:

document.getElementById(img_id).attr("src", "data:image/jpg;base64," + 
data);

This may well work for other media types such as music files, but richard 
should note well that I have no intention of helping him with any such 
project!
