+//GlideAjax, addParam(), getXMLAnswer
+//From client side code, to invoke server side code asynchronously, instantiate a custom GlideAjax object.
+//Use the addParam() function, and by convention, the parameter named "sysparm_name" to specify which server side function to invoke.
+//Additional arbitrary parameters may also be specified with addParam(); In this example "sysparm_Prefix".
+//Use getXMLAnswer() to invoke the server-side function and specify a callback function; in this example "finishClientSideWorkONE".
+//Use a direct parameter in your callback function to make use of data returned by the server; in this case the parameter is named "answerFromServer".
