Question

I have found jQuery to be a great tool to simplify my MVC Views.

For example, instead of including complicated logic to add alternating styles to my tables I just do this…

$(document).ready(function() {    $('table.details tr:odd').addClass('detailsAlternatingRow');    $('table.details tr:even').addClass('detailsRow');                           }); 

Do you know of any other good uses of jQuery to slim down the logic in my MVC View?

MVC Framework has a JsonResult that can be very nice to eliminate server round trips and might be able to get rid of some of the logic in your view page. I wrote a tutorial on this available at :
