>Hello,

>I want to modify one of the pages of my ASP.NET application where a field is being validated against SQL Server database.
>The page has a field Equipment ID. When a user enters an ID the code has to check if such ID exists in the SQL Server equipment table. And the code re-post the page. I would like to eliminate the re-posting of the page so that the user does not see it. But simply display a text "Invalid ID" (if not found in the DB) or nothing if found.

One option would be jQuery.js. It simplifies AJAX.
