I want to create save and approve button with Ajax Toolkit

I can approve a ProcessInstanceWorkitem using Apex or the API, but I just can't figure out how to write the same code using the Ajax Toolkit in javascript? 

 

I see the Process Request function and the ProcessWorkItemRequest Function in the connection.js file, but not sure how to use it.

 

Below is the code to approve using Apex

//I query for the ProcessInstanceWorkitem associated to the parent object

Approval.ProcessWorkitemRequest req = new Approval.ProcessWorkitemRequest();
req.setComments('Approving request.');
req.setAction('Approve');
req.setNextApproverIds(new Id[] {tumgr.Id});

//Use the ID from the newly created item to specify the item to be worked
req.setWorkitemId(ProcessInstanceWorkitem.Id); //pass id queried

//Submit the request for approval
Approval.ProcessResult result =  Approval.process(req);

//Verify the results
System.assert(result.isSuccess(), 'Result Status:'+result.isSuccess());
 
Any help is greatly apprieciated, thanks.

I was able to code this the old fashion way, through trail and error.  I've included the code below.
 
var workItem = new sforce.ProcessWorkitemRequest();  
workItem.action = "Approve";
workItem.workitemId = records[0].Id;
workItem.nextApproverIds = "userrecord[0].Id";
workItem.comments = "Approving via Save&Approve JS button.";
var processWorkItem = sforce.connection.process([workItem]);

Not sure if you can clearify exactly what you are doing here or not? I am looking to have a submit for approval button at the top of the record instead of on the related list. Is there an easy way about that or should I create a new post?
