I don't know if this helps (or infuriates) anyone, but I just have to say it in an environment where Ajax means something different from the clothes bleacher. I am not a html or JS guru. Also , .NET programming is only 1.5 years in my curriculum, but I am trying. I've used AjaxPro since it was Ajax.NET (and I want to again extend my warmest congrats to Michael Schwarz for his work) and I've tried all kinds of stuff. However, the only real useful feature that I was able to consistently employ was to get the HTML code with Ajax, then change the innerHTML property of a DIV or table cell or whatever. I've tried using the DOM model to create an OlapControl. It worked great with the test data of 3 columns and 4 rows. I used it to show 20x20 and it took half an hour to refresh! I had to completely rewrite everything server side and just send the innerHTML in the good ole fashion, it refreshed in 3 seconds.
I told you this, because it seems to me that Javascript remains consistently too slow for real development, at least where object creation and management is concerned or long and complicated functions take too much time. Also, because this Olap thing taught me something. The working version of the control, put in the corporate .NET library, is not Ajax! Is a simple and nice postback thingie which allows easy access to all properties including the javascript functions employed by various tasks. THEN, I used Ajax in a very simple manner, by putting all the important variables of the control in the Session, creating the control server side and returning the rendered control in a string in Ajax methods. And it works like a charm. Anyone else got the same feeling as me, or is it my inexperience with Javascript that alters my perception? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ajax.NET Professional" group.
