Is jquery worth a try with an asp.net webform application?

Question

Hai guys,
I ve been using javascript to get my validations,effects and so on... Now i ve decide to use jquery in one of my webform application

1. Is jquery worth a try with an asp.net webform application?

2. Will ajax update panel be an issue for me when using jquery?

I ve studied that the ready event will not fire for an asynchronous postback caused from UpdatePanel control...

Answer 1

Go with jQuery. Never look back. May the force be with you.

Answer 2

1. Yes, if the application has lots of javascript functionality you may take benefit of the numerous plugins
2. No, jQuery has a compatibility mode.

3. jQuery.ready event fires only when you reload the page and the DOM is ready for manipulation. For asynchronous postbacks of UpdatePanels use:

   Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager
               .getInstance()
               .add_endRequest(endRequest);
   
   
   function endRequest(sender, args) {
   }
