Hi,

I was asked recently to put something on my Intranet site to avoid seeing the effect of the page refreshing.

I'm not really concerned with performance issues so i opted for the Update Panel since i already use the Asp.NET AJAX Control Toolkit and i think it was the easiest / fastest solution to implement.

Anyway, I tried putting the UpdatePanel on the topmost level and i placed it on DNN "Master Page" : Default.aspx involving the skin placeholder.

I got two problems with this solution:

One, i already "fixed" but i don't exactly know why... i'll state it here because maybe it will hint someone in the resolution of my second problem:

When i clicked on "Logout", the site wouldn't logout and all the modules inside the content panes of the skin would disappear, i would still see the rest of the skin perfectly (menu, breadcrumbs, etc.)

My skin had 2 panes:

<td class="leftpane" id="LeftPane" align="left" valign="top" runat="server"></td>
<td class="rightpane" id="RightPane" align="left" valign="top" runat="server"></td>

and i renamed one of them:

<td class="leftpane" id="LeftPane" align="left" valign="top" runat="server"></td>
<td class="contentpane" id="ContentPane" align="left" valign="top" runat="server"></td>

and that fixed that problem...don't ask me why.

My second problem and the reason that got me to post is,

Whenever i do a PostBack, the menu disappears except for the Logout button (as seen on the screenshots).

Before PostBack:

After PostBack:

if i click on another page, the menu works fine...its just on Postbacks (even with PostBacks on the Core modules)

Any help is appreciated...

Do you think having the UpatePanel on Default.aspx is not reasonable?

Also, my version of DNN is 04.09.03.

Thank you for your time,

Tiago Costa
