Question

I have the following ASPX code:

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
                        <asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="UpdatePanel" UpdateMode="Conditional">
                            <ContentTemplate>
                                <asp:Button runat="server" ID="UpdateButton1" OnClick="NextImg_Click" Text="Update" />
                                <asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="urlsUpdateRepeater">
                                    <ItemTemplate>
                                        <!-- THIS WOULD BE A LOOP FROM HERE -->
                                        <!-- OPENS RESULT ITEM DIV CONTAINER -->
                                        <div id="result_item">
                                        <a href="<%# Eval("myUrl") %>" target="_blank">
                                                                    <%# Eval("urlPageTitle")%></a>
                                    </ItemTemplate>
                                </asp:Repeater>
                            </ContentTemplate>
                        </asp:UpdatePanel>

I have a NextImg_Click() event which works fine.

I use this code for DataBind… what is the Update method?

urlsUpdateRepeater.DataSource = resultsCollection;
urlsUpdateRepeater.DataBind();

Everything would appear to be in order. But every time the Update button is clicked it re-renders the whole page instead of the partial-postback UpdatePanel only.

It is driving me completely mad as I can’t see anything wrong with the code. Is there some simple thing I’m missing?! Please help!

The search and data is displayed correctly (inside the panel) it just will not do a partial postback.

Appreciate your help with my noob problems!

Answer 1

The problem was that my <form> tag was nested further into the document than it’s corresponding end tag (with Warning!)…

Upon moving my form tag – it worked!

Entirely my fault, thanks guys.
