Question

When i click on the link button, it does not show the data from DB… if the part i am updating from DB is outside the tabbed panel then it works fine…i guess something is wrong because of the js(tabbed panel)…any ideas??

ASPX CODE

<script type="text/javascript">
        var hh;
        var left;

        function pageLoad(sender, args) {
            if (args.get_isPartialLoad()) {
                //Default Action
                hh = '<div id="convertThis">' + $("#convertThis").html() + '</div>';
                var tab1 = $("#convertThis").advancedTabs({
                    tabPosition: 'top',
                    visibleTabItem: 3,
                    whereAmI: false,
                    width:728,
                    hideTabs: true
                });
            }
        }

    </script>

CODE BEHIND

            MsgBox(ex.Message)

        Finally

    Protected Sub LinkButtonDefinitions_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LinkButtonDefinitions.Click
        loadContent("Definitions")
    End Sub

Probably you do not initialize the pageLoad no where in your code.

var prm = Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance();    
prm.add_endRequest(pageLoad);

This pageLoad is not a function that automatically called from UpdatePanel, you need to initialize that on javascript part. Actually is not a know function, so I guess that you copy paste this code from somewhere with out this part.
