Best practices in using Javascript in ASP.NET in a pre-AJAX and pre-jQuery era
<p>I would like to know what are the best practices in using Javascript in ASP.NET in a pre-AJAX and pre-jQuery era.  What I meant by pre-era is not the time before AJAX/jQuery was created, but rather the time before it is popularized and widely adopted (by a significantly large number of programmers).</p>

<p>i.e. Is it good thing to store the script in a string variable and register it on demand (RegisterClientScriptBlock) or on startup (RegisterStartUpScript)?</p>

<p>Although I would be happy to see answers in using Javascript in ASP.NET, its usage in PHP and JSP are also welcome.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for your time and expertise.</p>
