[2005] Looking for save with no postback on tab change.

Hi,

I currently have a webpage that has roughly 7 tabs on it. I was wondering how would I be able to have it such that when the user changes tabs, it will save the data entered without doing a postback. Even a timer like GMail has (I believe it saves a draft every 20 seconds or something) would be great. Thanks!

AJAX to save the information without calling a full page postback, and JavaScript to handle changing tabs and filling information without reloading the page.

I really don't know. I know what AJAX does, but I don't use it in my development.

You'll need to install the ASP.NET AJAX 'framework'.
