Did I make a mistake choosing ASP.NET for an AJAX-intensive website?

    The goal is to make a digg-like voting system, but the programmers have been telling me that it's not possible for them to remove the black "please wait.." screen for each time someone votes.

    You can try it yourself, when you click Vote, there will be a black screen that prevents you from doing anything else.

    Here's the URL: http://bakat.iflair.net/Default.aspx
    You can login with the following info:

    pass: testing

    Compare it to digg.com or lookbook.nu voting system where everything is instant, of course they're using PHP instead.

    Any help or suggesting on what to do is GREATLY appreciated and will be awarded with super awesome +rep.

    The issue is caused by the javascript, not the .NET architecture. I didn't look to see if you were using the ASP.NET AJAX extensions or custom javascript, but you have to create that black overlay intentionally. That isn't something that happens by accident. I have worked with hundreds of AJAX intensive sites and .NET without issue.

    Ditto. The issue is not the .NET framework, it's the programmers. Does the team have experience with AJAX?

    I think they might be using ASP.NET AJAX extensions. Hm, they somewhat have some sort of experience with AJAX. Right now, users can only Vote for one video, and wait till the Vote has finished processing, instead of proceeding with voting for the other videos.

    Help help help please.
