Question

User-1097017955 posted

Hi Experts,

I have a Master and Content page. On my Master page I have DropDownList. When I change the value from it then both Master and Content page get refreshed. 

I have control same behavior in Content page using Update panel (Partial Page Update, using AJAX). I mean page is not get Post Back at time of Content page.

How to avoid flickering from Master page?

Thanks.

 Using an Update Panel page-wide is not a good idea as it can be much slower than a simple postback. 

However, to stop flickering in IE (Firefox already does protect against that) I suggest you add the following meta tags:

<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=0)">
<meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="blendTrans(Duration=0)">

Hi Nissan Fan,

Gr8 man!

<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=0)">

<meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="blendTrans(Duration=0)">

I have added both of above into my Master page, and it works great.

Thanks.

Monalisa, what this simply does is use IE page transitions.  That causes IE to effectively buffer the response from the new page until it's fully rendered.  With no time in the transition what you end up with is simply an almost instantaneous switch from one page to the other.
