Update a datagrid without POSTBACK!!

It is.

you can use either a webservice or xml-http to go get the data and return it
to requesting page. you would need to manually load the data into the table
(datagrid renders clientside as a table i believe)
but it's a lot of unrewarding work. why would you want to go this route? is
a postback that intolerable?

But if you are updating via a webservice or xmlHTTP, then you are making
another trip to the server (or rather a server) and this is what I took the
OP to be asking if could be avoided.

What sort of update do you mean? If you mean re-populating with new server
data, you have to make a round trip to the server. If the information for
update originates on the client side, you can update the grid easily with
DHTML.

moot point but it occurred to me - perhaps erroneously - that the postback
flash was what was irritating and not the postback itself.
