link, which opened up a text box, and after typing a few letters, all
kinds of stuff appears relevant to the text she typed. This is
conceptually similar to what the <A target="_blank" href="http://ajax.asp.net/ajaxtoolkit/AutoComplete/AutoComplete.aspx">auto-complete extender</A> does, but instead I want to bind what it calls to a templated control in a Repeater. Sounds simple enough, right?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weblogs.asp.net/jeff/archive/2007/04/13/a-tale-of-two-asp-net-ajax-approaches.aspx#2238865">I still believe
that any generic put-stuff-in-an-UpdatePanel kind of functionality is
an immediate score and works like a champ. It really does remove the
plumbing nonsense from the equation for server-side monkeys like me who
don't want to know or care about what's really going on.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weblogs.asp.net/jeff/archive/2007/04/13/a-tale-of-two-asp-net-ajax-approaches.aspx#2238865"><P>I guess the bigger
point I'm trying to make here is that it's tempting to solve every
problem with UpdatePanels, but honestly there is so much power in this
framework that it's worth it to get to know the client-side stuff.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A1995980-5600-4984-8110-37F564C40416/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
