jquery alternative for ajax modal popup extender
<p>I know there have been many posts on jquery vs ajax toolkit and I have read many of them. But I'm still not getting it completely. I'm hoping this question would clarify it for me unless it gets closed or voted down.</p>

<p>i have been reading a lot that jquery can replace MS Ajax tool kit completely. In my project (web forms), I am currently displaying a gridview that shows an ajax modal popup extender when row is clicked. That MPE has to talk to the database, get an object back and bind to the controls on the MPE popup. I'm assuming this is not easy to do with Jquery. There is no direct server interaction unless I do some web service or something like that. Even in that case, do I have to bring back the entire html preformatted?</p>

<p>If this is not achievable, how can Jquery replace the whole ajax tool kit. Have I misunderstood this?</p>
