Getting started with converting code behind to client side

[Bugges]

I am wanting to convert the code behind portion of my \[code\]asp.net web forms\[/code\] application to client side ajax, javascript... not sure what.The reason I want to do this is so the application will be able to work offline if internet connection is lost.I have \[code\]linq2sql\[/code\] databound controls and I know this will take some work.I am just hoping that somebody out there can point me in the right direction so that I don't waste a lot more time. Eventually I will convert this app to \[code\]MVC\[/code\], but I have a lot of learning to do.
