Error : Ajax is Undefined

I am using the below code in a script tag to call one URL in the background.

var request = new Ajax.Request(logoffURL, {method : 'post'});

But I am getting script error Ajax is undefined.

Do I need to include any external scripts?

That code uses Prototype. If you want to use that code, you'll need to include Prototype into your page. For example, using Google's CDN:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.7.1.0/prototype.js"></script>

Here's a good place to start:

http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

As the example shows, you can do something like this:

$.ajax({
  url: logoffURL,
  context: document.body
}).done(function() { 
  alert("DONE");
});

I recommend using a CDN to reference jquery:

Yes, you need to include some external script (jQuery, for instance) and learn how to do ajax calls there. There is no Ajax object in browser, but there is XMLHTTPRequest. But again - you must learn how to use it first. For instance - here is how you can use XMLHTTPRequest
