Some days ago I wrote about my first MVC Design Template. I told about the jQuery login and that it's not very efficient because there was no specific login action action to handle the ajax request.
I now updated the template and included an extra action and view for the partial login. I also decided to stay with the full page postback for the login process because there are possibly places all over the page that have to be changed on successful login. It's not very practical to do that all in javascript and you'd have to look at in in every single page.
Download the updated template from the MVC Design Gallery (and vote for it, of course :-)
