Brief foray into Atlas

I made a brief look at Atlas (http://atlas.asp.net) for the Money site earlier in the week. Actually, most of my use will be behind the scenes in administrating various parts of the site, rather than standard user use.

I did look at the Atlas Control Toolkit, specifically the TextBoxWatermark. As an experiment, I added it to the Contact Page, so it is a little more obvious what to type in where.

I don't know enough about the platforms it supports, but it does seem to work on Internet Explorer 6 and 7 (beta 2).

Over time, I will probably add more Atlas and AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) things to the site. THis may be more obvious in places like the FAQ list, as the page is starting to get very long and unwieldy.
