Battle of Wizards: Dojo vs. Microsoft

Feeling a bit ashamed of a flashy title, but forgiveness is assumed.

That apart, the Dojo wizard does a neat job with this client code. It works as well as Microsoft's Server control, perhaps even better. Is this a part of web 2.0? The tutorial develops the same pages in both and compares them for eye candy effects, speed, cross-browser use, etc. Please follow this link to the article:
