Fix problem when clicking ``Register for Classes'' where an XHTML validation error was thrown.

This error was caused by the ajax request using the HTTP GET method instead of POST. The HTTP GET method has a limitted length and the serialized querystring was much longer than that limit, causing fun errors. Perhaps this querystring limit was even on the browser side instead of apache-side... or perhaps apache was returning an error page to the browser about the querystring.

/**
 * \brief
 *   Do an AJAX loading of data with arbitrary error handling.
 *
 * \param target
 *   The jQuery object which should be populated with an error message
 *   or the result of loading.
 * \param data
 *   The data to send as a request.
 * \param handler
 *   A function with the signature handler(target, data) which is called upon
 *   a successful response. There is a default handler which uses
 *   .html() to load the data.data.html into target.
 * \param error_handler
 *   A function with the signature handler(target, status_text, data)
 *   which is called upon an error. The default error_handler will
 *   store an error message in target, possibly provided by
 *   data.message if the HTTP request itself was successful but the
 *   server still claimed there is an error. The third argument, data,
 *   will be null if the error is at the HTTP level.
