AJAX = Synchronous Javascript And Xml, so yes, it is a large number of
JavaScript libraries. The ASP.NET AJAX encapsulates most of the workings so
you do not have to write much code. There are other AJAX libs that require
more code on your part.
If all pages use AJAX, you can place the Script manager on the master page
and it will encapsulate all of your AJAX controls, which will be in the
content regions. It is a one time set up rather than each page, making
things much easier.

ok thanks for the additional information. I placed an accordian on one of
the pages and when I added a pane in the properties box I got the following
error,
<cc1:AccordionExtender ID="Accordion1_AccordionExtender" runat="server"
Enabled="True"
AccordionExtender is not a known element. I do not have a script manager on
the page so is this why I get the error? I will place the Script manager on
the master page as suggested since I think all the pages will use AJAX.

First, do you have the bits in the config file. If not, you have to put them
in the page. There has to be a way to link to the bits, either through
config or through references in your page.
Here is how I learned enough to refurb sites for AJAX. First, open your
website. Then create a new AJAX site in teh same solution (you can delete it
later). Any time you have errors, try the same thing in the AJAX site and
then compare. You will usually find the solution by examining the top of the
page that is having issues. What this teaches you is priceless, as you start
to understand how they are "tricking" the application to use these new
controls.
