defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');

jimport( 'joomla.application.component.view');

/**
 * HTML View class for the advertising component
 */
class TestViewCheck_user extends JView 
{
   /**
    * Default display function
    */  
    function display($tpl = null) 
    {
        $testController = new TestController();
        // Make an object of Main Model class contains Main functions
        $testModel = $testController->getModel('test');
        $userName  = JRequest::getVar('username');
        parent::display($tpl);
        }
 }
?>

All front end code should be in your tmpl, so your Ajax stuff should be in there too. Check this tutorial out on how to make MVC components for Joomla http://www.joomladevuser.com/tutorials/components (deadlink).
