A Forgotten Story - Ajax in ASP.NET using JavaScript

http://blogs.cametoofar.com/post/raw-or-plain-ajax-in-aspnet-using-javascript.aspx

<script type="text/javascript">

    function sendViaAjax() {

        // Build URL to make Ajax call

        var url = "Test.aspx?name=" + document.getElementById("txtName").value;

        // Creates an Ajax call object

        var xmlHttp; = new XMLHttpRequest();

        // Specify URL to connect

        xmlHttp.open("GET", url, true);

        // Callback function to handle response from Server

        xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function () {

            if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4) {

                if (xmlHttp.status == 200) {

                    alert(xmlHttp.responseText);

};

        // Send Ajax request to Server

        xmlHttp.send();

</script>

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string ajxValue = "Hello " + Request.QueryString["name"] + " !";
 
    Response.Write(ajxValue);   // Write the Response
    Response.End(); // End Response
}

Worse is Better

http://www.jwz.org/doc/worse-is-better.html

The worse-is-better philosophy is only slightly different:

Simplicity-the design must be simple, both in implementation and interface. It is more important for the implementation to be simple than the interface. Simplicity is the most important consideration in a design.
Correctness-the design must be correct in all observable aspects. It is slightly better to be simple than correct.
Consistency-the design must not be overly inconsistent. Consistency can be sacrificed for simplicity in some cases, but it is better to drop those parts of the design that deal with less common circumstances than to introduce either implementational complexity or inconsistency.
Completeness-the design must cover as many important situations as is practical. All reasonably expected cases should be covered. Completeness can be sacrificed in favor of any other quality. In fact, completeness must sacrificed whenever implementation simplicity is jeopardized. Consistency can be sacrificed to achieve completeness if simplicity is retained; especially worthless is consistency of interface.
