Although I like AJAX a lot, I do not particularly appreciate how it works (or rather; doesn’t) without JavaScript enabled. AJAX shouldn’t be an excuse lazy web developers can hide behind because they don’t want to, or don’t know how to, create web pages truly accessible, regardless of the technology used to view them and regardless of the person who views them and their handicap (if any).

Google, for example, will have major problems accessing a web page that has links with href’s that point to JavaScript functions. That is not good accessibility. And it’s not necessary either. If this is how the AJAX.NET framework is built, I don’t think it’s good to build anything on it, since it won’t be accessible without a highly modern web browser with JavaScript enabled.

Now if only we could edit the missing documentation and do a postback to the server to have it updated.
And then abstract the whole thing so we can reuse this for our own libraries…

Wow, excellent. Can we get this running on go-mono.com, or else can we direct the Mono website’s link to docs to your site?

A library of where to find controls like this would be very cool

That absolutely rocks.

I was about to say it needed a way to direct someone else to whatever page I was looking at, but then I saw the “Link to this document” button. Excellent work.

This computer is kinda slow, so the ajax version will probably be faster than monodoc for me.
