I've been wanting to learn Ajax for a long time but I thought it was impossible to incorporate it in to my web sites that I had designed using the old tried and true classic Active Server Pages (ASP).  I recently found some samples online that show you how to use Ajax with classic ASP pages.

Below are two examples of Ajax and ASP working together.  I'll be posting the code for you soon so you can try it for yourself.

Sample 1:  Hint / Suggestion box.  Try typing a letter like "e" and see what happens.
Sample 2:  Click the cookies button and get a list of all the cookies set in your browser from my web site.
