Question

Here is the problem im having. I have 5 buttons on my form that appear next to each other (horizontal). 3 out of the 5 buttons had to be put in an update panel b/c these buttons have to do AsyncPostBack, the other 2 buttons need to be outside to do a postback. Everything works the way I would like accept that all the buttons dont appear on the same line. Is there anything I can do put get these 5 buttons to appear on the same line, given the different functionality of these buttons?

The UpdatePanel renders a <div> you need to style this div so that that it displays inline Notice the Style="display:inline" in the following code. There’s other ways to accomplish this depending on your layout but this is the most straightforward.

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" Style="display:inline">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="labelText" runat="server" Text="Label" />
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button1" />
        <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Button2" />
        <asp:Button ID="Button3" runat="server" Text="Button3" />
    </ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<asp:Button ID="Button4" runat="server" Text="Button4" />
<asp:Button ID="Button5" runat="server" Text="Button5" />
