Yes. In fact, every request that does actually exist as a path (ie: mydomain.com/documents/expenses.doc) should be reached. In other words, if the file or folder does not exist, it goes to my default template page.
So I could easily just request (through AJAX) the full file path, but there’s one problem: appending variables to that file path. Once you use the question mark (?) in the file path (through AJAX), it breaks.
Not sure if this is part of the .htaccess file, that’s not allowing it, or what. Still trying to figure it out.

A template is a very good way to setup a web site, but you may run into problems when using AJAX.

Well it depends on how your template system works. Can’t you tell it to only work on certain files or folders or filename patterns? Or to exclude certain ones? So that not everything goes through the template. E.g. put your AJAX pages into a different folder and exclude them.
