Excellent, Thanks! How do you get the Javascript methods in the ToolBox?

Highlight the js or markup that you want to turn into a "reusable chunk of text," left click and drag it over to the toolbox. You now have a new toolbox item. You can then right click the item an rename it to something more memorable.

I really enjoyed these two video's. As a Gov't Integrator it's really essential to have you so into this Federal Guy Marc!

These are really excellent.
When I saw you debugging in JavaScript, I *HAD* get this working and found this page on how to:
http://weblogs.asp.net/rchartier/archive/2005/10/06/426799.aspx

The essence:
1. Turn off "Disable script debugging". In IE go to Tools, Options, Avanced Tab and in the "Browsing" section make sure that "Disable script debugging" is NOT checked. Accept that change.

Hi there,
Great screencast!
I have a little problem
When I try to call PageMethods.MyFunction() it sais PageMethods is undefined. I'm using the latest Atlas(Ajax).
