webforms.js embedded resource

[Jeremy Chapman]

I'b developing a web app to be viewed on various mobile devices, and I want
the app to be as light as possible. I noticed that some of my pages have a
link to the embedded resource webforms.js in the rendered page. Is this
javascript required, and how can I turn it off?

It is pretty simple,

In Visual Studio, if you select the properties window of this particular
JS file, you can see a property called "Build Action". If you set this
property to "Content" then the file wont be added as a embedded
resource, so it means you have to manually specify the location when
ever you need to refer it.

when I say webforms.js, I'm referring to the resource in the system.web.dll
of the dotnet framework. The framework is including a link to this resource
on the rendered page (via a WebResource.axd url). I want to stop it from
adding this link to my page, because my page doesn't use any of the
javascript in this resource so it's an unneeded http get.

I've seen these JavaScript AXD file(s) included when you set Form properties
such as 'defaultbutton' or 'defaultfocus'. Also the
'MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback' page directive might be adding an AXD
resource.

I've tried setting those properties to false or null in the page oninit, and
on page tag and in the web config. still no luck.
