blog.dreamlabsolutions.com — This post may be most relevant to those who haven’t had the chance to work with jQuery yet. Lately there is a great hype around jQuery, very many people talk about it, very many write excellent example but most of them target more advanced users. jQuery is a lightweight (~19KB Minified and Gzipped) JavaScript library which easily enables us to traverse the DOM (Document Object Model), handle events, animate elements, and do asynchronous requests (AJAX – Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). What is it that could make your like easier if you are an ASP.NET developer? Well the biggest reason for me is that I don’t need to repeat tons of code to get things done. 9KB of jQuery is way enough to speed up client-side development and reduce the overall development effort due to the fact that you do not have to repeat writing the same kind of code in different projects / pages. original link
