Hi,

I am taking a night course on Javascript (had only two classes) in order to understand jQuery better, when start using it. But meanwhile I am trying to understand where jQuery would be helpful in an ASP.NET application. So I have a specific situation where I am thinking if jQuery would be applicable (if I knew it).

On one of the pages of my ASP.NET application there are two drop-down lists, one for Sites and another for Buildings. User can select a site and the page is posted back to the server (on Sites drop-down change) and the list of buildings for selected site is built. So user will see Buildings per Site. The re-posting of the page is not a really big deal but I thought that maybe if I used jQuery I would eliminate the reposting of the page. That is, I could build the dataset/dataview of all building on initial posting of the page. And then via jQuery the building drop-down list would show only buildings of the selected site. My understanding is that since jQuery is a library of javascript functions reposting would not be necessary. Is such a thing doable with jQuery? TIA.
