UpdatePanel and Dropdown List

=?Utf-8?B?U3Rvcm1icmluZ2Vy?=

I have an UpdatePanel with a dropdown list that I can't seem to get to
update. It has a hidden button which I click from javascript added to the
page when another update panel is updated. Triggers didn't work for this that
is why I'm using the script.

The script is registered with...
ScriptManager.R egisterStartupS cript(Page, GetType(), "Update",
String.Format(" $get('{0}').cli ck();", buttontoclick.C lientID), true);

<asp:UpdatePane l ID="panel" UpdateMode="Con ditional"
ChildrenAsTrigg ers="true" runat="server">
<ContentTemplat e>
<asp:Button ID="dropdownBut ton" runat="server" Style="display:
none;" OnClick="dropdo wn_Click" />
<asp:DropDownLi st ID="dropdown" runat="server" />
</ContentTemplate >
</asp:UpdatePanel >

The code all executes and the data for the drop down is updated but it is
never rendered to the page. I put a text box in the panel just to see if
anything was getting updated and it wasn't.

I have another update panel that is updated in similar fashion to this but
its datasource is a repeater. It has the same issue. The data is updated but
never rendered.

I have other update panels on the page and they update just fine. I'm not
sure what the problem with these two panels are.

I figured out a work around. If I call window.setTimeo ut with a wait of 3
seconds before I click the button, the panel updates. I think it has
something to do with the script loader. Scripts have to be fully loaded
before I can do another post back.

Simple question about cross-window dropdown list loading

by: Joseph Barron | last post by:

Here is a SIMPLE problem that I'm trying to solve. It works in Netscape 6.2, but IE6 gives ""No such interface supported." Below are page1.htm and page2.htm . In page1.htm, there are two dropdown lists. If you change the selection of the left one (e.g. choose parentoption2), it should open up page2.htm in a popup window.

UpdatePanel - adding Style?

by: Rob Meade | last post by:

Hi all, Ok - this might sound kinda stupid - but I cant see how to do it... I've got an update panel which contains, on one horizontal line, a drop down list, then an image, then another drop down list and then another image. I want to align the images so that they are in the middle of the row so to speak, ie, not at the top. As the updatePanel simply renders a DIV tag I figured that I would be able to do something like:

Triggering an UpdatePanel question

Hi All, I am creating a asp.net tool that uses 2 graphs (chartFx Pie chart and ChartFx Barchart ) The effect I'd like to get is to have the Bar chart in an update panel and when a user clicks on a segment of the Pie Voila the Barchart updates. If I populate a dropdown list with the information that populates the Pie chart then it is straight forward in using the dropdown to trigger the update panel.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
