standard header for detecting an XmlHttpRequest call. Thanks, Daniel Lindsley.

``is_ajax()``

   **New in Django development version**



   Returns ``True`` if the request was made via an XMLHttpRequest by checking

   the ``HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH`` header for the string *'XMLHttpRequest'*. The

   following major Javascript libraries all send this header:



   * jQuery

   * Dojo

   * MochiKit

   * MooTools

   * Prototype

   * YUI



   If you write your own XMLHttpRequest call (on the browser side), you will

   have to set this header manually to use this method.
