When my page gets hit, is it better practice to have my functionality in the page_load of the cs file or in the $(document).ready(function() {}); have an ajax call to a webmethod?
Which way will be more efficient, I am leaning towards the Ajax call, but my mind is saying that it will be double work? (Load the page and then also call the WebMethod)
If you are working towards a full scaled JQuery application, I would suggest adding the function in your dom ready. If you do this, you do not have to include the method in the Page_Load. Only declare your jquery function and do a webmethod to return the required data.
