Alt.NET Podcast – jQuery in ASP.NET
AJAX, ASP.NET, JavaScript, jQuery By Dave Ward. Updated October 18, 2008Note: This post is part of a long-running series of posts covering the union of jQuery and ASP.NET: jQuery for the ASP.NET Developer.
Topics in this series range all the way from using jQuery to enhance UpdatePanels to using jQuery up to completely manage rendering and interaction in the browser with ASP.NET only acting as a backend API. If the post you're viewing now is something that interests you, be sure to check out the rest of the posts in this series.
If you’re reading this, you probably already know that I’m a big fan of integrating jQuery with ASP.NET. If you’re of the same mind, you’re sure to enjoy the latest Alt.NET Podcast: jQuery in ASP.NET.
Update: Part two of our discussion on jQuery and ASP.NET.
Mike Moore hosted a roundtable discussion on the topic, between Bertrand Le Roy, Chris Brandsma, Rick Strahl, Steven Harman, Scott Koon, and myself. Between us all, the discussion ranges from the official Microsoft viewpoint, to theory about JavaScript and jQuery, to the pragmatic.
Whether you’re already on board with jQuery + ASP.NET integration or you’re still trying to figure out what the announcement means for you, I think you’ll find the discussion interesting. I know I did!

I appreciate all of your comments, but please try to stay on topic. If you have a question unrelated to this post, I recommend posting on the ASP.NET forums or Stack Overflow instead.

I never listen to podcasts, but this one was definitely interesting. I learned a few things, and it was cool to hear voices of some of the people whose blogs I’ve read. Also, to hear some of the explanation from someone who works at Microsoft for why they made the move to support JQuery.
Hi,
I have wriiten a JQuery where I can move items form one Listbox to another and its working fine, when I do a postback ie when I click a Asp server side button the listbox with populated items using Jquery disappears… How can i avoid this
Try to replace the postback that your Button control triggers with something AJAX based instead. A postback completely reloads the page, so any client-side changes are lost.
Thanks Dave…
Do you have any example for such issue, pls let me know as I hav not used AJAX before.
Thanks Again…
