At some point, you must be using JavaScript to trigger the AJAX call and page load. I would use the onreadystatechange point to trigger a scan of the DOM and change the AJAX loaded elements at that point. To be honest, if you're going to go to these lengths, it would seem easier to change the backend to output a 'class' tag instead, but without knowing the detail of the application, it's difficult to give a balanced opinion.

Then again you have to call a function. On selection of a drop down some controls are getting disabled and enabled so again that function needs to be invoked. I guess it is possible through overriding through prototyping of onclick method of textbox? What are your thoughts on this. *********************************************************************************** Any opinions expressed in email are those of the individual and not necessarily those of the company.
