This script allows you to add simple star rating boxes to anything on your website. – Images, tables, lists, are a few of the possibilities you could add a star rating to.

The Unobtrusive AJAX Star Rating Bar allows users to rate things with no page refresh - and even works when Javascript is disabled.

Simple AJAX rating system. Supports multiple ratings on one page and no database required.

The Accordion widget and its InfoPanel are components that can be used in the JavaScript enabled popular browsers: Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer. Ext JS Library There is the fully featured example on the Live Demo Page with various types of Accordions (left pane, embedded, resizable, in popup) and various types of panels (resizable, draggable, with content dynamically loaded from server, etc.). There is also syntax highlighted code and detailed Howto on integrating the Accordion to a web page. Panels can be re-ordered within the Accordion by drag&drop or undocked (moved out of the Accordion). While undocked they can be further dragged and resized. The whole example is themable; currently there are four themes to choose from.

Based on ComponentArt's Patent-pending Client-side Rendering Technology

The entire Web.UI suite is built on top of ComponentArt's innovative web user interface technology. Rather than using the standard technique of rendering HTML markup through server-side code and sending that content down to the browser, ComponentArt Web.UI controls are designed to generate JavaScript storage arrays containing the minimum data and style information required to display a user interface element. JavaScript logic is then used to generate all the required HTML markup (or DOM elements) on the client. Hence the name of the technology: client-side rendering.

This technique is implemented throughout the entire Web.UI suite, and it carries important technological advantages in several areas:

• Page footprint. The amount of content being sent over the network directly affects application performance. When HTML markup is generated on the server, the amount of output can reach hundreds of kilobytes when complex UI controls are used. As a result of our client-side rendering technology, ComponentArt Web.UI controls generate the smallest page footprint in the industry - up to 10 times lighter than that of competing products.
• Client-side performance. Generating DOM elements on the client as they are needed, and destroying them when they no longer need to be displayed produces significantly better client-side performance than if all DOM elements were pre-generated on the server and existed in the DOM tree at all times. Keeping the DOM tree small produces snappy user experience and provides the ability to handle a large number of user interface elements on the page.
• Client-side APIs. ComponentArt's JavaScript storage-based architecture allows exposing client-side APIs that allow modifying or even creating the structure of UI elements on the client. Since all DOM elements are generated on the fly based on the state of JavaScript storage, exposing such flexible client-side APIs is a natural part of ComponentArt's technology. Please refer to the Technology Showcase demo section for real-live examples involving client-side APIs.
• Rich client-side features. Finally, ComponentArt's client-side rendering technology opens the door for a wealth of rich user interface features that would be impossible or extremely hard to implement with standard, server-based rendering. Examples of these features include: Grid Client Running Mode, AJAX With Client-side Caching and Client-side Binding With Web Services.

It is important to note that all Web.UI controls are also able to generate HTML markup on the server - when needed. Examples when this type of rendering is useful include: support for older browsers, search engine optimization, Visual Studio .NET design-time support, and accessibility support.
