JSP versus ASP: Remote Scripting

[maxpower1]

A question about JSP vs ASP. In ASP, there is a useful function called Remote Scripting that allows you to separate client side from server side scripting. Hence, if you design a screen and want ONLY some items to be refreshed, you don't have to refresh the whole screen.

For instance, if you have 5 <TR> rows in a <TABLE> tag and you need to refresh only 3 rows, these three rows can have their &quot;rows&quot; refreshed without having the whole screen repainted.

The reason I am asking is because my application does a lot of refresh activity on screens (every 3 seconds!) Hence, I want to be able to do this in JSP before leaving the
&quot;dark side&quot; a.k.a. Microsoft.

What's nice about ASP is, with Remote Scripting, you can accomplish this objective without having IE or Netscape icons spinning at the top every 3 seconds. Hopefully, JSP
has the same functionality.

remote scripting allows you to make the web-based app looks more like a desktop app. I write a lot of monitoring screens. These screens get updated every 3 seconds! Hence, using the regular http protocol and having the mouse turns to an hourglass every 3 seconds are not the viable solutions.

enjoy! This is JSP forum and I am moving to JSP. So for other questions, post them in ASP forum and I may catch them.
