Atlas with FreeTextBox

Helo,
I'm using a FreeTextBox control (http://freetextbox.com/) in the same updatepanel of other controls, including a panel. When I try to set the Visible=false of the panel it doesn't work. When I remove the FreeTextBox control it works.
Do you if they doesn't work together? Is there an alternative? Are they resolving this bug?
Thank you,

Chierici

Hi,

from what I've read in these forums, there are problems with FreeTextBox and the UpdatePanel. The only editor that seems to work isFCKEditor (the last version, stating tothis thread).

I have posted a workaround for the freetextbox on my blog.

Atlas vs. ZumiPage

I gave a quick look to ZumiPage (http://www.zumipage.com/). It's seems so simple even I can do it :) How does it compare to the partial rendering capabilities in Atlas December release?

Thx

I've had a quick look and it seems like Atlas makes it even easier: just put your usual ASP.NET server controls into an update panel and voilà. You should read Nikhil's blog post on the new Atlas features:

I don't like the screen-flickering of ZumiPage.

A solution like Atlas orMagicAjax is much easier and better.

Screen flickering? It returns to a postback mode when you can't have AJAX running properly (security or whatever else). My RSS reader disables most of JavaScript apparently - (RssBandit.org), and this forum, for example, doesn't work any more.

I haven't tried this with Atlas yet, but this is something pretty solid - you want the website to continue functionning in either mode. Anyone tried this with Atlas?

Another solution makes AJAX programming easy isComfortASP.NET.
I didn't see any flicker with zumi. But I may be blind or my settings are not messed up like his :)
It looks like Microsoft has done a good job copying the idea behind MagicAjax in its December release. ZumiPage looks pretty cool if you're trying to add Ajax to .NET 1.1 apps. Otherwise, why would you choose to go with someone other than Microsoft for Ajax unless the Atlas juggernaut really screws up?
Again, we didn't copy anything but my own RefreshPanel that I published on GotDotNet in March. We didn't even know about ZumiPage and other similar frameworks before these forum posts appeared. By the way, if you do some research on the web, you'll find that there are now many similar frameworks for all technologies (incl. php, java) and I'm pretty sure that most of them grew independantly. Atlas was certainly not first but please... It's not uncommon that many people, when confronted with the same problem, come up with similar solutions, just because there are usually not many really good solutions.
