I am not sure what you are asking. However, you should take a look at UpdatePanel and ScriptManager on MSDN. These are Ajax controls and let you do partial page refreshes.

Which version of ASP are you using? The Ajax functionality is basically using Javascript behind the scenes. All you will have to do is write JavaScript, look at XMLHttpObject in google, you will find 110s of examples. You can surely use a Div tag and Javascript together to provide Ajax functionality, I have done it it using classic ASP number of times.

However, the question is why do we want to re-invent a wheel when all this functionality and much is built in to ASP.NET 2.0. Shouldn't it be easier to use the Update Panel or AjaxControl tool kit. If you are using earlier version of .NETthen you will have to use Ajax tool kit and if you are using 2.0 and above then Updatepanel si what you should be using.
