DropDownList flicker problem

Environment: VS 2005 with Atlas

Problem: I have some textboxes and dropdownlists on a page. When I click on any link to do a postback; all the dropdownlists disappear for few milliseconds and then reappear.

Note: I am not populating the dropdownlist again.

I want to avoid this flicker of dropdownlists.

If anyone has some across suck an issue, please help.

Hi there,

Just wonder if you have a code snippet showing this problem.

Hi,

This is not related to any code. It happens on anyone's page.

If you have a dropdownlist on a page. And to avoid flicker of the page during postback you have applied atlas solution. Then if you do a postback, all the controls on the page remain as they are. But the dropdownlist will flicker (i.e.: it will disappear for a second and come back again). Even though we are not repopulating the dropdownlist on postback.

Please help...

Hi,

does it happen on any browsers?

Hi!

I have just tried this and it flickers in internet explorer but not in mozilla.
Can anybody tell me why this is′nt working?

I am experiencing the same problem. My scenario uses a drop down list in a usercontrol, which is in an update panel.

Anotherthread with the same issuehas not been resolved, however the individual noticed that using Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 eliminates the problem. Of course this doesn't help those who would like to fix this problem for IE 6.

Has anyone found a fix yet?

Hi there,

I can confirm the issue even with the June CTP. The flicker happens for dropdownlists in IE6, not in IE7 Beta nor FireFox.

BTW: FireFox is in almost all cases more "ATLAS" aware and enabled, as the IE is... Very strange.

Hi,

this is not an issue of the Atlas framework. It is an issue in the way IE6 renders this type of boxed list.
