AJAX Master Page vs Master Page in Visual Studio

[foozball3000]

I'm busy rebuilding my website from scratch... And I stumbled onto these two Master Pages.

I'm currently planning on Using a Standard Master Page. But what makes the AJAX one different?

The only difference is that the Ajax one has the following tag automatically inserted:

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />

which is necessary to use Microsoft's Ajax library in your website.

The AJAX one has got all the AJAX bits on it for you. Saves you 20seconds.

You can always add AJAX to the master page at a later stage

^ Yup. I'd recommend building the site AJAX-less first and then add on the AJAX capabilities later on. Will help you in degrading your site gracefully later on.
