If this is possible can some one please let me know the different mehtods that can be called on it. I want to validate a user using his user id and password. So i want to do a backgroungd check for his authen tication without refreshing the page. If the usr is autheticated the i would rediect him to another pager. On failure i wold redirect him to an error page.l

You would need to use the DOM's document.createElement() method.

If you want to do something like that without refreshing the page, you need to use AJAX (http://www.google.com/search?q=AJAX+%7Etutorial) or JSRS (http://www.ashleyit.com/rs/).
