//2010-03-02: switched from for...in to standard for loop on line 47.
//2010-03-01: worked on it more; specified var i in line 45.
// 2010-01-27: allowed for a null parameters argument;
//Version 2009-01-12
//Version 2009-03-23: added the paramlist and for loop @ end to allow for multiple form controls to be passed as parameters ( in array format: ["controlOne","controlTwo"] ), then the function gets their value and passes it to the ajax.
