Is there a way to add client methods to ASP.NET user controls?

I recently discovered the client-side methods of some of the controls in the Microsoft ajax control toolkit.

Is there a way to do this in your own custom user controls...

Using DOMContentReady considered anti-pattern by Google

A Google Closure library team member asserts that waiting for DOMContentReady event is a bad practice.

Interactive world map

I'm looking for a javascript world map, much like Google Maps, that can be embedded into a webpage, and extended so I can plot my own points on it. The major catch is that the map needs to be completely usable without an internet connection (i.e., local intranet). It doesn't need to have the same level of detail as Google Maps, but shoul...
