Timer Control, Ajax and Dropdown List Problem

[jjme88]

Hi I have an isue on an c# aspx web page which has to 2 Update Panels with an ajax scriptmanager.

The first panel contains a drop down list and a gridview. On selecting an item in the dropdown the gridview beneath it updates based on the seleted value.

The second update panel contains another gridview that needs to auto refrsh every 5 seconds. This second panle is completely independant of the first.

The problem is if a user wishes to scroll down and select an item from the drop down in the first panel if the second panels timer event kicks in it takes the focus away from the drop down list preveting the user from selecting anything unless they are really quick.

has aanyone else had this issue / know how I can work around it so both update panles are completely independent and dont interfear with one another?

Is this question related to Asynchronous Javascript And XML or is it related to the Microsoft proprietary ASP.NET extension known as AJAX. If it's the first then please post the relevant code snippet and a link to the page. If it's the second then refer to forum855.
