The rest of us simply run through our daily lives knowing something updated the stock ticker but not caring much about what it was. AJAX is a powerful tool, but frankly, it’s a pain to write the code it requires. Different browsers require different code; even different VERSIONS of browsers require different code.

The obvious solution of creating Microsoft grid controls in an Ajax.Net Update panel can create very large HTML pages with long response times when a substantial amount of data is being worked with. Also, every grid has to be created individually on each page, and that makes it hard to create and maintain a common "look and feel".

It allows a DIV to behave like an IFRAME loading content from any page either static or dynamic. It can load pages having both inline and external Javascript and CSS, just like an IFRAME. But unlike IFRAME, it loads the content within the main document and you can put any number of UFrame on your page without slowing down the browser. It supports ASP.NET postback nicely and you can have DataGrid or any other complex ASP.NET control within a UFrame. UFrame works perfectly with ASP.NET MVC making it an replacement for UpdatePanel. Best of all, UFrame is implemented 100% in Javascript making it a cross platform solution. As a result, you can use UFrame on ASP.NET, PHP, JSP or any other platform.

There are two ways to do this, with level one event handlers or using unobtrusive JavaScript. One allows you only to assign one event handler to an event at a time and is deeply coupled to your HTML markup. The other allows you to assign as many event handlers to an event as you wish and completely removes JavaScript from your markup. Do you know which is which? This tutorial will cover what the difference is, why using unobtrusive JavaScript is a better approach and how to implement unobtrusive event handlers using the Prototype JavaScript library.

 To keep the look-and-feel of the application consistent, RAP allows developers to define the presentation elements, such as tab shapes or toolbar colors, which are then automatically applied to all additional modules, explained Jochen Krause, project lead.

Early usage of Flash was the first time I noticed this. A number of those sites would create nested functionality that never changed the URL. If the URL doesn't change, i can't bookmark it. Most Flash guys learned their lessons pretty quick, but now I am inundated with AJAX driven sites that try hard to not to do post-backs. That's cool, but if the URL doesn't change I can't link to it.
