I'm an ASP noob creating a small web app that performs a simple function and operates in a linear fashion.
Screen1 :User logs on
Screen2: User chooses a few options
Screen3: Results
Screen4: Confirm / Finish
Ideally, I'd like to set this up in a wizard fashion. I envision a fixed header, and ideally, I'd like the various screens to slide in/out as the user proceeds through the steps.
A rough example would be something like this: http://www.richosoft.co.uk/cfdemo/slidingcontact.html
The postback nature of ASP seems to make such a design rather difficult. If anyone knows of any components or has any design tips I'd be greatly appreciative.
I've figured out the scrolling issue. The problem - as I see it anyway - is that the various pages need to be dynamically loaded based off user entry in the proceeding pages. I have an implementation now based off this tool (http://codecanyon.net/item/fss-full-screen-sliding-website-plugin/159103)
which provides me the ability to abstain from preloading all slides (via AJAX), however from code behind (after I've done my work on the backend), I don't know how to programmatically hit the link to proceed forward.

Hello,
I would suggest you to have master page for fixed header at the top and jquery for slide in/out.
