Disable or stop AutoCompleteExtender (Javascript)

To disable or stop the AutoCompleteExtender from running or calling its service to load auto suggested list, (Using Javascript)

Its very simple

-Set the BehaviorID property for the AutoCompleteExtender

<ajaxToolkit:AutoCompleteExtender
   runat="server"
   ID="autoSuggest"
   TargetControlID="SearchBox"
   ServiceMethod="GetSuggestedList"
   ServicePath="~/_Services/AutoSuggest.asmx"
   MinimumPrefixLength="2"
   CompletionInterval="1"
   EnableCaching="true"
   CompletionSetCount="10"
   CompletionListCssClass="AutoSuggestSearch"
   CompletionListItemCssClass="listItem"
   CompletionListHighlightedItemCssClass="highlightedListItem"
   BehaviorID="autoSuggest"
     />

Then using javascript just write:

function selectType()
{
   var a = $find("autoSuggest");
   a.set_serviceMethod('');
}

By setting the service method to empty, the autosuggestextender will not find the service to call and will stop working

Pure Chat sample

As axosoft company said on their website:
PureChat is one of the most attractively priced live web chatting solutions on the market.

I see its very simple one, it a good choice if:
Your budget is not a lot
You don't want any advanced communication between your operators and users.
You don't want file transfer or sharing.

Its very simple and clear.

I made a small sample using pure chat, its very simple and working nice.
