I was recently asked to demonstrate how to use jQuery with ASP.Net, with a focus on AJAX. So I spent a few hours and cooked up this demo web site.
The Web site demonstrates the following jQuery concepts:
- Basic jQuery selectors and API usage
- Wiring up javascript event handlers with jQuery
- AJAX autocomplete textbox using the Autocomplete plugin
- Maintaining AJAX navigation history and state using the History plugin
- Loading dynamic html into a panel using the jQuery.load API function
- Loading dynamic html into a modal dialog using the FaceBox plugin
The demo could be useful to both someone starting out with jQuery or an old-timer looking for some new AJAX approaches. Let me know what you think.

What about implementation with ASPX.net?
Is it possible?
@DaveMT
I am not familiar with ASPX.net. My guess is you are referring to ASP.Net, which uses .aspx file extensions.
Hey,
Very useful article. I am trying the lazy load where you are using $(’selector’).load(’something.aspx’)
How are are you getting around the requirement for all controls to be in a tag? I am trying to load an aspx page into a div pretty much as your article, but get this error
Control ‘ctl00_TextBox1′ of type ‘TextBox’ must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server.
I had to put in a dummy head too, for asp.net themes… Thanks
