Thanks so much for your reply. Much appreciated. Yes, it's a php web script that uses AJAX. I'm wondering if I post the ahah code, if someone can tell me where I might modify it to put a fixed channel value:
// ==========================================================================
// @function Complete AHAH function
// @author Daniele Florio
// @site www.gizax.it
// @version 1.1.3 experimental
// @thanksTo Andrea Paiola,Walter Wlodarski,Scott Chapman
// @updated 1.1.3 ( execJS function ) @thanks to Giovanni Zona

/* USAGE:
1) Posting data to form:
<form id="myform" action="javascript:ahahscript.likeSubmit('helloworld.php', 'post', 'myform', 'mytarget');">
('comments_ajax.php', 'commentajax', '', 'GET', '', this)
2) Getting simple url
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:ahahscript.ahah('test.htm', 'mytaget', '', 'GET', '', this);">click me</a>
