I've seen lots of folks doing that recently. Checkout:

The legend is rebuilt using XMLHttpRequest. Works great and is really
quite portable.

Actually, I was meaning more their use of XMLHttpRequest to grab new
data from the server without having to reload.  It's a lot like what
they did with Google Suggest.  If you're curious on how they did that,
one guy dissected the code a bit:

The javascript that's running Google Maps is just sick.  Google is
certainly taking javascript a lot further than I've ever seen.
