Implementing AJAX in good old ASP

Written by Deepak Vasa on November 15th, 2005

At work we are still using some good old ASP…well I know…I know..we are moving towards .NET, that’s the reason I did Enterprise .NET at Swinburne….ok comming back to my little talk here, I have come across this brilliant toolkit for AJAX which I can use either in an ASP or PHP environment, it’s CPAINT stands for Cross-Platform Asynchronous INterface Toolkit. It’s really good and it works.

I have been playing with CPAINT yesterday and I could happily use it for some good search queries…allthough I am still trying to figure out how I can get the Google Suggest look. I need that feature so that I can get rid of some huge drop-down fields that we have in our content manager. At the moment the data-entry guys have to scroll thru a list of authors and choose the one that’s required, I am trying to eliminate such a lengthy drop down by providing a ‘Google Suggest’ kinda interface. I got a few ideas as to how I can do it, but not sure if it will work, if any one of you have some good ideas please do let me know.
