WOW, this is SO futuristic. ... But wait, VFP's local Cursors? Hasn't this already being done. It still bugs me that MS turns out a old feature as if it was a new idea.

I am still tring to figure out why we are reverting to a simular computer technogy that first learned back in the 80's. That is; all the real work is done on the server, and the workstation is dumb terminal. Plus, all the data is stored on the server and none on the workstation. Computer techinology has made a complete 360. I perdicting that in the next 10 to 20 years, someone is going to come up with the great idea that if we store and process the data locally we could gain more performance. WOW, would n't that be a great improvement!

>>>>I have a page in my ASP.NET application that uses several look-up tables (drop-down controls). Every time the user reloads this page, the Load method "gets" the data from the database and sets the value of the data view to the drop-down controls. It has not been a problem, so far, as far as page loading too slow. But I am wondering, what Javascript technology (or another technology) you would suggest to use if I wanted these pull-down lists (data views) to stay local and not be reloaded every time?
