How to update votes client side using WebForms

I'm trying to implement voting very similar to stackoverflow's. There are multiple items that all have a vote button next to it.

Here is the flow: You click the vote button, it fires a javascript function which clicks a hidden asp.ne...

Evan Q.'s Review of Stellina Restaurant - Watertown (4/5) on Yelp

Is there a browser event that fires when the OS X scroll bar style changes?

OS X Lion and above allow the user to turn on/off iOS-style floating scroll bars - either manually via System Preferences, or by plugging in a mouse. WebKit-based browsers (and maybe Opera?) switch their scroll bar style immediately - is there an event that fires when this occurs? (WebKit-only is just fine) Some notes: OS X fires NSPrefe...
