>I have a form that contains 2 dropdowns. The 2nd dropdown items need to be loaded after the first dropdown is selected. I'm able to set postback=true and the OnSelectedIndexChanged event to load the 2nd dropdown items successfully. Problem: postback causes the page to reload causing an refresh effect that looks bad. Is there a better way to load a dropdown without posting the whole page ?
>TIA Bill

There's no easy solution to this. You'll need to check out AJAX related techniques/technologies. "Atlas" is Microsoft's AJAX library and the one I'd recommend but there are a number of less complex solutions - AJAX.Net, MagicAJAX and several others.
