Hi, I've been reviewing IMC and am interested in a client-side implementation of this to enable communication and updates of modules using ajax.  Is this possible with the current clien-side API or is this custom development that would be required?

Well, I guess my interest was around a client side abstraction of having to work directly with the HTML elements, searching for divs. etc.  The question is really if there is a designed set of guidelines/APIs included with dotnetnuke that can be used to send messages on the client side to your modules without having to use IMC and do a post back.

For example, one module on the page, I would like to tell another module on the same page to refresh (and it will use ajax to refresh itself) with certain information without having to do a postback of the entire page, and hopefully while using client side APIs that are available (this is where the client side API to IMC link was being questioned).

I already have an ajax implementation working in my modules, I am not looking for ajax.

This is probably my fault.  Let me start over.

I would like a client-side event from one module to trigger a client side action to happen on another module (it may or may not refresh itself), without having to post back the entire page to the server.

I would prefer to use a predefined dotnetnuke design or API for this if it exists, before tackling a custom client-side solution.

Thanks,
