Form PostBack

[thefroggy13]

I am currently trying to create an aspx form that has 25 text boxes
that are partially filled in by dropdown boxes filled in at pageload.
When I choose an item in the dropdown it postsback the information to
the text box.
It is taking several seconds to repaint the page.
My question is " Is there a way to increase the speed of the page
refresh? "

the best option is to move the logic to client side. you should always avoid
postback with a dropdown, not sure why ms even supports it.

try this simple test with your website. set the focus to a dropdown, and
use the down arrow to select an item.

I suggest you find a way to achieve this functionality without posting back.
One way is to use all client side code (probably JavaScript.)

Another approach is to use AJAX:

Or it sounds like a ComboBox control might be just what you're looking for:
