I commonly put many widgets in an update panel for a smooth looking operation. However, I have a page with a tabstrip (with multipage and pageviews and another tabstrip in one of the page views with a multipage) that "blinks" when trips to the server occur within the page. Noting else blinks just the tabstrip - as a matter of fact just the top tabstrip. what might be causing this?

By "blink" I mean that it becomes non visible for a tenth (or so) of a second while making the whole page jitter up and then it becomes visible and the page jitters down destroying the smooth appearance. Hope this makes sense. I have pasted the top tabstrip below in case that might be of any use.

BTW, I have other pages using tabstrips where this does not happen (no blink)
Thanks,
Gary

Hi,

Try to set your TabStrip's MultiRow to False. You will get that when MultiRow is True because in multi-row mode the TabStrip needs to wait until all images are loaded before it can decide how to wrap tabs into multiple rows. Before the layout are settled, you get blank.

In your case, your TabStrip is width enough to holds all tab items. So there is no need for you to enable MultiRow.

Thanks
