Actually, Faber, what you can do is this: serialize the data into text
fields in your database table, have your AJAX call the back-end
function, SELECT the data, format it with HTML and CSS, *then* pass it
back to the web page.

Alternativeley, you could pass the JSON object straight through the AJAX
call and HTML-ize the data in Javascript, but I think it's easier to do on
the back-end in Perl.
