Newbie : aspx and javascript

Hello,
Is it possible to call an aspx page from an html page (via javascript)
and get some return value from the aspx? I want to get a string from
the aspx and add it to a div, something like :
myDiv.innerHTML += returnValueFromAspx;
Thanks in advance for the response.There are several ways, probably the easiest for a beginner is to use the
browser's built-in XMLHTTPRequest object, and get the string back in the
ResponseText proeperty. Then you just do
document.getElementById('myDiv').innerHTML= myXmlHttp.ResponseText;
