Using JQuery AJAX to display a database in ASP

As the title says I'm trying to use JQuery AJAX to display part of a database on an ASP site. Ive never used JQuery so I am kind o开发者_JAVA百科f lost on even how to start. Any help for my problem or a point in the right direction towards a helpful tutorial site because a lot of the ones Ive been to so far are way above my head.

The AJAX part is a little more complicated. What from the database are you trying to display?

Jquery is mainly an html querying language/helper, mainly for the client side. Helps to navigate the DOM. The AJAX part is for connecting to functions or methods on the server side. And it can return various forms of data, from a simple string to blocks of html to json objects.

You would have to use AJAX to call a function, and the server function will query the database, and return what you need.
