DataGrid Paging (javascript disabled on client)

Hi Experts

Most ecommerce sites have datagrids which don't rely on the client having Javascript enabled to render pages 1-10,11-20 etc.
e.g
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/new-for-you/top-sellers/-/dvd/all/ref=d_hp_sn_ts/102-8831740-9295333

Can you give me a code example please?

(I'm new to ASP.NET and was disappointed when I tried the drag and drop controls to find that some rely on client Javascript.)

you can use datagrid

if you use vs2005 you should use gridview,

Erm
I'm using VS2005 gridview and onmouseover the pg no. it is calling:

javascript:__doPostBack('GridView',;Page2$')

which breaks if javascript is turned off.

Whereas onmouseover the page nos on the the amazon site you get a non-javascript page link:

I think the only control that would work if Javascript is disabled on the client is the buton control.

Hamed Zaghaghi

almost all controls that has postback use java script,
you can use links that send querystrings to a page for example like this

list.aspx
shows data from 1 to 10
list.aspx?s=10
shows data from 10 to 20

and so on....
