[Solved] load all data on single page load [closed]

Question

Making a couple of guesses he is storing large amounts of data as arrays in his JavaScript for the site and trying to manipulate the DOM without a post back… Seems unlikely that this is being done without understanding AJAX / JSON, but I am guessing that is the answer he is looking for.

Basically: if you want a pattern which allows you to update the page without post-backs, and you don’t want to pre-populate the data because there is too much, then you use AJAX.
