I’m new at prototype and Ajax. Nice article.

Question: If I wanted to make my server side response into a boring string, with no HTML formatting, and let the ajax.js JavaScript functions turn that string into HTML w/ the P tags around it, would I use the Ajax.Request class instead, and use the onComplete: myFormatStringAsHtml option? Am I going in the right direction with that, or can the .Updater class call a function instead of inserting it’s result into a DIV?

I found a couple of sites with prototype docs but not many complex exmaples. It would be neat to see (or figure out and write if I had time) a series that started simple and got more complex. Pointers to good articles/docs would be appreciated.
