I would discard option 4 as it will make maintenance more difficult and you may end up out of synch between the HTML generated via the Javascript and the one from the C# code. I would also discard the option 2 as that may make the code more difficult for other developers and also probably unnecessary.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
