Actually most of it could be easily accomplished with plain old javascript, but step 3 sounds like it could really benefit from an ajax call. You would make your for like any other form, but after the user enters the zip code you would do an ajax call to another page that calls a database and looks up the zipcode and the coresponding cost and returns the cost as the ajax response. Sounds like a fun project, let me know how it turns out. I wouldnt go as far as to say it would be easy to do in ajax, but this scenario is the perfect candidate for ajax.

When I try to do this, I get an error saying that the filename (with extension dropped) is undefined. I'd like to have a few links on a page, and instead of writing a function for each request, I'd like to pass the file name as a variable.
