Button Click Event via Ajax with jQuery

In this post you will see how easy you can call some ASP.NET server side method using jQuery via Ajax. There are number of scenarios in which this trick can be useful but for me the most appealing one are asynchronous autosaves. You have seen it in number of places for sure – basically whenever you give user an option to enter long piece of content, it’s a good practice to implement autosave, just in case, to prevent user’s content from disappearing because of browser crash or session timeout.
