from the project README:
Simple AJAX
-----------
Note: this module currently only works with html5 themes since it relies on the data-attributes parameters.
This module does nothing on it's own. It provides a simple way to load nodes, blocks, users and views via ajax. Links must have a class "simple_ajax" to be processed. They also must have some data attributes.
Node:
This will replace the $("#main-wrapper .content") html with the node 5 rendered using the "teaser" view_mode
< a href="node/5" class='simple_ajax' data-nid="5" data-view_mode="teaser" data-target="#main-wrapper .content" data-method='html'>node 5< /a>
User:
This will replace the $("#main-wrapper .content") html with the user 1 rendered using the "full" view_mode
< a href="user/1" class='simple_ajax' data-uid="1" data-view_mode="full" data-target="#main-wrapper .content" data-method='html'>user 1< /a>
Block:
This will append a block (module = "user", delta = "login") to the $("#main-wrapper .content") content
< a href="user/login" class='simple_ajax' data-module="user" data-delta="login" data-target="#main-wrapper .content" data-method='append'>login< /a>
View:
This will append a view (system name = "news", display_id = "default") to the $("#main-wrapper .content") content
