    <p>I agree with <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2035868/do-i-need-ajax-and-asp-net-for-what-im-doing/2035878#2035878">Aaron Daniels' answer</a> about learning jQuery. jQuery helps a lot with cross-browser compatibility in JavaScript and some CSS-based effects. </p> <p>However, you should also look into ensuring your site uses well-formed, valid HTML, and doesn't use too many CSS 2+ features. This should ensure that your site is standards compliant, which will mean it will play well with Firefox, Safari, Opera, and even later versions of IE to an extent. You will still need to do manual tweaking for IE - it's been too broken for too long for MS to be able to fix it properly in one go - so look into <a href="http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">conditional comments</a> for applying a separate stylesheet for IE users.</p> <p>AJAX is a handy technology for "desktopifying" your web app. It provides a mechanism for asynchronous callbacks to the web server, so you can pass data to and fro without reloading the page in the browser window. This is how the voting buttons work on StackOverflow, for example. </p> <p>Lastly, ASP.NET doesn't really have much effect on the end user's experience in terms of the look and feel of the site. It is a server technology that provides for writing complex applications to be delivered over the web to a browser. Having said that, MS have put in some extra goodies to make working with AJAX a little easier. </p> <p>Hope that helps!</p>
