I am using an UpdateProgress control to display an animated gif while an asynch process is occuring. It works fine, with the exception that when the page is re-rendered after the process and the UpdateProgress animated gif is removed an extra linebreak is added into the html. It's easiest to see with a before, during and after picture. I've turned on the table borders so it's easy to see what is happening:

Notice how the area where the progress animated gif was now has an extra linebreak. I've tried this same functionality out on a vanilla aspx page and it works as expected. Anyone have any suggestions on a possible workaround?
