How JSONP Works

Good article explaining some of what's going on behind the scenes when making JSONP calls using jQuery and using it with WCF.

After wasting too much time trying to get the ASP.NET AJAX CalendarExtender working on my master page I eventually gave up and decided to go with Keith Wood's jQuery Datepicker - wish I had done so earlier. Using the jQuery selectors it was simple to attach it to all of my date text boxes and easily set both the date format and minimum and/or maximum dates.

Remove non-jQuery Event with jQuery

It was driving me nuts trying to remove a checkbox onclick event that was created with JavaScript rather than through jQuery. After trying unbind(), click(), attr() etc. I found the solution on StackOverflow - use removeAttr():

$('#btnNext').removeAttr("onclick");

Consuming ASMX Web Services with jQuery

I was pleasantly surprised that this just worked...

<html>
<head>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.1.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
 <script type="text/javascript">
  $.ajax({
   type: "POST",
   url: "http://Server/Service.asmx/MethodName",
   data: "{'firstName':'Gareth', 'lastName':'Hill'}",
   contentType: "application/json; charset=iso-8859-1",
   dataType: "json",
   success: function(msg){
    alert(msg.d);
   }
  });
 </script>
</body>
</html>
