Knockout is applicable to the web. It works with any server technology. Some might work easier than others. It works very well with ASP.NET MVC.

>Quick question, before I start on learning (if I do :)) the knockout. Is it applicable to ASP.NET Web Forms or only to ASP.NET MVC?

>>>Mike, everything I do (for me <g>) is not trivial. But I think it would take me quite a lot more time to learn Knockout than I can afford to spend now. So I will try first jQuery.ajax(). All I need is "seek a record in the table, find record, and populate a couple of fields on the page" without reposting the page.
>>>Thank you for your suggestion.
