>I see you've resolved it. Yes, adding controls dynamically in ASP.NET is complicated and it's really easy to not get it right which ends up causing all sorts of viewstate issues. The basic idea is that you need to re-add controls on each hit, and they need to be done before the viewstate is loaded (I have mine in the Init). Honestly, after doing a site where the main page does a lot of dynamic loading, I'd avoid it if at all possible.

I have found the same. One would think that this is a common request and would be easier to do. I guess after I figured it out it wasn't that bad, but it would be hard to explain to somebody.
