ASP.NET: adding controls client-side

Question

If I have a page with a form (imagine a simple one with just TextBoxes and a submit button) and I want to allow the user to dynamiccally add more TextBoxes to the form via j

Answer 1

I've begun using jquery in a lot of my webforms applications and have found the combination of dynamic controls and using JSON to communicate with the page's WebMethods give me much more control over how the page is presented and eliminate needless postbacks.

When I want to trigger a postback, I use javascript to populate server controls on the page that are hidden by jquery and then click a server control button. This allows the page to degrade gracefully if the user cannot use javascript.
