Skip Navigation Links. When doing async postbacks, there may be some latency for longer running processes and you want to provide users some feedback/progress indicators.  Using the UpdateProgress enables you to implement a progress template to display when controls are "InPostback."

  1. UX Today: basically showing that there is no indication...unless the user pays attention to the IE progress bar or the spinning browser icon ;-)
  2. Atlas UpdateProgress: a simple addition to the page, when anything is "in postback" it will display whatever template you show.
  3. Cover Overlay: simply showing that we display whatever template you put in -- this sample simply uses absolute positioning to block out the control being updated.
