.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / July 2007Question on Ajax vs. plain javascript
I have a asp.net form where if the user checks a check box I need to disable some of the fields. I don't need to make a trip to the server for anything at this point so is this is a case of using javascript to disable the fields or should I be using Ajax do that? As probably can be seen from my post I have never used Ajax yet. Bill Bill, You may consider Ajax only if you need to immediately react to the checks. Since you don't, all you need to do is to make sure that the checkbox's AutoPostBack property is not set to true and your server-side app will pick up the values on the next postback.
