degradable Microsoft Ajax

Hello

I have a question about Microsoft Ajax, is Microsoft Ajax degradable ? Meaning will the website function even if I turn the Javascript off ? I know there is a small portion of users out there having their Javascript turned off, but I just wanted to know this out of curiosity!

Thank you

That depends on how you implement it. Can you build to degradeability? Yes. Does the framework force you to? No. For example, you could replace all your normal event handling with javascript calls to web services. Then your solution wouldn't degrade well.

I am confused now. Ok let me explain myself. lets say if I use a update panel and a triger, etc using standard Microsft Ajax controls, then what happen if I disable my Javascript on browser ? Does the solution still work.

I am not suing and customized javascript code myself, such as event handling, etc.

Yes Update Panel is inteligent enough to detect it and do the regular postback instead of partial..

Degradable ajax

A pure hypotetical question.

Suppose I have an updatepanel with say a datagrid inside and it has a trigger relates
to another submit button. How can you make it degradeable? Have you heared any future
possibilty?

I am not sure it exactly addresses your question, but our goal with UpdatePanel is for it to be a no-op on browsers that don't support XmlHttp... so you should be able to easily degrade to a full postback model... is that what you were asking?

yeah, sorry for not being clear. that's exactly what i meant. thanks.
