Peter A.
Bromberg wrote an article for eggheadcafe on ASP.NET: Remote
Scripting using Thycotic Remote
Scripting. This is the second or third article in as many months that
I've seen using Thycotic Remote Scripting, mostly in respone to AJAX and the
fact that this isn't a new concept.
What's nice with all the "new" hype surrounding Remote Scripting, XMLHTTP,
and Script Callbacks (baked into ASP.NET 2.0), is that we should start to see
some really nice UI decisions. Peter's article is a good
example, if you're expecting mostly North American addresses have the tab
sequence go from Street Address to Zip Code, and fill in City, State OnBlur.
Other examples? Say you deal with vehicles for some reason (auto body
shop, whatever), you could have users fill in the VIN Number of their vehicle
and populate most of the Make/Model type questions. Mainly situations
where you can derive associative information from small, simple bits of
information and still get adequate data while minimizing user input or
"work".
