Alternate to java applet

if you want tou can use a Service Web and the Web Service Behavior. That allow you to call a web service from a web page with Java script code. In this way you can just modify a peace of your page without refresh it. It's easy to use and really efficient. Look at the MSDN documentation on "Web Service behavior" and "Using the web service behavior" if you want to see example. Pete

"else wait till all browsers start supporting .net (hope to in the future)" Shan, my friend, that will NEVER happen.

well we dont have anything equivalent for a java applet. Actually you can invoke a .net exe,winform etc from the web page BUT we need .net on client side. So if you have .net on client side then no probs....else wait till all browsers start supporting .net (hope to in the future)
