jquery ui autocomplete
jQuery UI has an autocomplete plugin that works really well.
jQuery UI autocomplete
I just released an Asp.Net WebControl wrapping JQuery UI autocomplete widget.
You can find it on codeplex at the following address:

Maybe you will like the original standalone jQuery autocompleter plugin that is still around (and actively developed):

I use the HTML Editor from ASP.NET Ajax AjaxControlToolkit http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/Samples/HTMLEditor/HTMLEditor.aspx.
Its like: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/2889172fdJPG.jpg
But I want to have it like: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/3eda09893JPG.jpg
So the default buttons are much overpowered for my users.
Is there a way to reduce the ajax HTMLEditor to this few buttons?
Or is there another controle you can help me with?
You haven't said which one you're using. I would recommend using TinyMCE: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/
It will be easy to achieve what you want with it.
The best way to achieve this is to take advice from Ed Pitt, I did it this way and I was able to create different versions with different tools. The basic premise is to copy the HTMLEditor.Samples.cs file from the AJAX Control Toolkit source into your app and modify it to only print out the toolbars you want:

Hope this is what you are looking for
i'm not sure how to call that. i'm looking for some samples guiding me how to implement a automatic page extend. i'm mean something like the friends list on facebook. first only a few friends are loaded. after you scroll down, some others get loaded.
thx in advance
The solution to your problem relies more on AJAX then anything else.
I suggest using jQuery Ajax, and here is a nice article that will get you started with calling ASP.NET web services via client side script.

If you don't have experience using ajax this will probably be a lot for you to grasp. Especially if you're going to dive in with a feature like you described above.
Edit: It may be more practical to use a plugin to achieve this:

I'm creating an inbox system for my website which allows basic communication between users. I'm fetching the results with jquery calling a webservice.
Then I'm using a jquery template engine to render the results to the screen. So far this all works good. but now I want to add some click functions on certain parts of inbox messages. For example I want the title of the message to be clickable so it will expand/collapse the fulltext which is hidden in a div beneath it.
But I can't seem to use the jquery selectors on this dynamic json result. It works when I put the function in the href tag itself but I don't really want to. I also tried adding the function after the success function but no luck either. Is it possible at all to use selectors with a template engine?
I hope I made myself clear otherwise feel free to ask more information. Thank you very much
Kind regards,
Mark
Have you tried jquery .live option? http://api.jquery.com/live/
I'm sorry, you'll see it happens all the time, when something goes wrong and I ask a question the minute after it it solves itselves. It is indeed possible to use the jquery selector on dynamic elements. Just make sure u put it after the template processing and in the ajax success function.
Thanks.
Are you trying to select the json that is returned from the webservice or are you trying to use the jquery selector to find an element that you added previously on to the page?
I want to make my website look spiffy. Should I use jQuery, or what is better suited to be paired with ASP.net?
jQuery works very well with .NET.
I would highly recommend jQuery UI.
http://jqueryui.com/
JQuery compliments .NET quite nicely. Here is a good blog article that should get you started.
I've can say this with confidence - you can use jQuery with .NET with no issues. I do this all the time.
Absolutely. I don't know that it will necessarily make it spiffy as you asked, but it'll certainly ease your programming work.
AJAX will help with the "spiffiness".
You want really spiffy? Look at Silverlight!
Yes, you can definitely use JQuery for ASP.NET apps. Check out an introductory article on how to get started - Getting Started with JQuery
jQuery works as well with ASP.NET as with any other server platform, because it's just a set of client-side scripts. When you consider its daily usage (such as assigning Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat to jQuery calendar) the final code won't look as short and elegant as advertised. The server controls of ASP.NET AJAX have their own bonuses. In short: if you use ASP.NET and not going to change the platform try standard ASP.NET AJAX facility (possibly with AJAX Control Toolkit). Otherwise starting with jQuery can be much better investment.
I chose AjaxToolKit to build a WebForm login. Has anyone else had problems trying to do this? I'm planning to use DropShadow Extender and RoundedCorners with Panels, but this is my first time working with panels.
Please check this link.
I want to put a login panel into something like the screenshot shows, whenever the user clicks a button. This would be similar functionality to what happens on StackOverflow when you try to insert an image or hyperlink in 'ask a question'. Is this possible? How much effort is it?
If you are talking about 100% using ajax control toolkit, check out the ModalPanel example.
You could also go for a javascript library option like iBox, which would be a bit harder to integrate, but not much.
I much prefer doing this manually with javascript and css, if you know what you are doing it is not that hard, if you aren't familiar with those technologies it may take more work. Here is a good post that walks you through the basics
I use AjaxControlToolkit extensively in my application and its really simple.Being server side ajax I does emit a lot of javascript on your page. I suggest you use AJAX only where its required i.e. in cases where a page does lots of things and you want to make it more responsive something like a Dashboard kind of app.
