>The formview contains a questionairre with 15 questions and about 100 subquestions. They are mostly radio button lists and checkboxes. I wanted to manipulate some of the controls via a partial refresh (turn the subquestions on and off based on the answers to the main questions). I have the notion that this is what the update panel is designed for (refreshing just part of the page). It's kind of like this . . .

Don,

I'm not sure I follow everyting, but how about collapsible panels or using JavaScript to show/hide based on the first question answers?

BTW, you may get better luck if you also ask your question in ASP.NET forums AJAX forum.
