AJAX Request Code

In many frameworks there is a way to test if a request is AJAX or not. Sometimes I need to request partial templates with some EE code on them that I want to be accessible via AJAX only. I turn on PHP parsing on “before” and use the following.
<?php
$AJAX = (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'] == 'XMLHttpRequest');
if ($AJAX){
?>
//Ajax code goes here
<?php } else { ?>
// Non Ajax code goes here, a redirect if you will
<?php } ?>
Special thanks to Leevi Graham for the beautiful code. Buy his awesome extensions and add-ons.
