Many web developers and businessess are still using Classic ASP. Classic ASP is supported on Windows 2008 which is expected to last beyond 2018. So pumping up your ASP script with AJAX is a good investment.

While you may find many tutorials around the web on how to use AJAX () with Classic ASP ASP developer, Michal Gabrukiewicz, has taken things a step further. Michal has delivered a framework for work with AJAX and Classic ASP. The framework is similar to xajax for PHP, which allows you to tie in to a named function in a server-side script.

Ajaxed is a mature framework as of version 1.0 and supports a long list of developer tools not to mention a console for controlling and tracking events during the development of scripts.

Features

• New ajaxed config
• HTML, head and body tags integration (header & footer)
• Environment support
• Unit tests
• Automatic version check
• Database methods
• RSS reader and writer
• Template class
• Cache component
• Discussion group
• RSS reader and writer
• Documentation generator (Documentor)
• Download

The sheer elegance of the Classic ASP Ajaxed Framework and the feature set show clearly that Classic ASP is not dead. So if you are still not convinced that ASP.NET AJAX fits your needs then definately give this a try. You can even show it to your boss and make him smile about his decision to stay with Classic ASP.

Happy Publishing!
