UpdateProgress taking up space

I've placed an UpdateProgress control on my page. But it's taking up space on the form when not displayed. Is there a way to make it so that when it's not showing it won't take up any space on the page?

Never mind. I have so many panels, tables and other controls, that it realy makes it difficult to identify any problems. The UpdateProgress wasn't the issue.

UpdateProgress with AssociatedUpdatePanelID not showing

I have a page withe 2 updatepanels & 2 updateprogress, when I set the AssociatedUpdatePanelID for each updateprogress control, neither is displayed when its associated panel is updated but when I remove the AssociatedUpdatePanelID, they work. But I need to set it. What can I do?

Can you post your asp.net code?

<

tr><td align="right">Country</td><td><asp:DropDownListID="ddlCountry"runat="server"DataSourceID="CountriesDS"DataTextField="CountryName"DataValueField="CountryId"AutoPostBack="True"AppendDataBoundItems="True"><asp:ListItemValue="0">-- Select Country --</asp:ListItem></asp:DropDownList></td></tr><tr><tdalign="right">City</td><td><ajax:UpdatePanelID="CityPanel"runat="server"UpdateMode="Conditional"><ContentTemplate><asp:DropDownListID="ddlCity"runat="server"DataSourceID="CitiesDS"DataTextField="CityName"DataValueField="CityId"><asp:ListItemValue="0">-- Select City --</asp:ListItem></asp:DropDownList>

<

ajax:UpdateProgressID="CityLoading"runat="server"AssociatedUpdatePanelID="CityPanel"><ProgressTemplate><imgsrc="../images/spinner.gif"align="absmiddle"alt="Loading..."></ProgressTemplate></ajax:UpdateProgress></ContentTemplate><Triggers><ajax:AsyncPostBackTriggerControlID="ddlCountry"/></Triggers></ajax:UpdatePanel></td></tr>

Hi, I have the same problem. The probem is with Triggers collection of UpdatePanel. It doesn`t work together with UpdateProgress.

Put that DropDownList inside UpdatePanel control and it will work.

Thanks it worked
