possible duplicate of [How to use Basic Auth and Jquery and Ajax](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5507234/how-to-use-basic-auth-and-jquery-and-ajax) which was EASILY found googling for `userid password ajax` – mplungjan Mar 19 '13 at 07:09

1@mplungjan It is not mentioned explicitly, but Step 1 explain how to set the headers - adopting that to this case would give something like `httpRequest.setRequestHeader('username', '12345');` – Christofer Eliasson Mar 19 '13 at 07:11
