ASP.NET AJAX C# - Question with UpdatePanel and TextBox

[artemis1101]

Good day,

I have a C# asp.net ajax-enabled website that uses an update panel to dynamically update some controls on my page - one of the controls that it updates is a date/time drop down list, which is dynamically generated based on the date/time that a user selects from a calendar control on my page.

I've got the whole thing wrapped in an UpdatePanel, and it seems to work great - until you start entering text into one of the TextBox controls inside of the UpdatePanel. For some reason it seems that the postback of the update panel causes the textboxes to refresh every couple seconds, causing you to lose the information that was typed into them.

Is there a way around this? I hope the question makes sense, if not please let me know.

Thank you.

It seems a bit strange that your textboxes are posting back ever few seconds...But every time you post back, you could store the Text in the TextBoxes into variables and upon handling the event that causes postback, set the TextBoxes text back to that value before returning to the browser....

Why is your page posting back so often?

That's a good question, I'm not sure what's causing it to post back so frequently - I'll check it out and see if it's something that I did...
