I have thrown together a quick ajax demo of a user registration page. It uses ajax to check if the username is already take and also to check the strength of your password. Just a warning this is not running over SSL so dont type in your proper passwords because its not secure, if you were to implement this then it would be best to have this do the ajax requests over the https protocol which I think most of the toolkits do if you load the page under https.
Btw this was demo uses the SAJAX AJAX toolkit
