Thank you very much gbianchi for the quick reply. I tried that already but didn't work. Take a look in the master Page code. And tell me what I should do.

    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
        </asp:ScriptManager>
        <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
            <ContentTemplate>
                <asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" NavigateUrl="~/Default.aspx" runat="server">
                        Page1
                </asp:HyperLink>&nbsp; | &nbsp;
                <asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink2" NavigateUrl="~/Default2.aspx" runat="server">
                        Page2
                </asp:HyperLink><br />
                <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
                </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
            </ContentTemplate>
        </asp:UpdatePanel>
    </div>
    </form>

hi there...

the update panel should be inside the child page, not the master page, that way you only refresh the child..

but left the script manager in the master page...

But still, even with the AJax panel in a child page, you still get page refreshes.

Since child pages are all separate pages, your browser requests a full new page whenever you browse from page to page.

If you want to minimize that, you can use the AJAX panel to refresh only parts of the page; however, it won't work for completely new page requests.

Want to be my colleague? Then check out this post.

In order to have a "content only" update using AJAX you need to implement your "pages" as user controls. You then have a single page (in this case you don't even need to use master pages). Your navigation links then cause the user control loaded in the page content area to change. This can get tricky though. Honestly, for this type of behavior, you might be better off to use an iFrame. (That is actually how a lot of google's "ajax" powered applications work.)

Using the ajax/user control method, you can not use regular hyperlinks as they get handled as a new full page request instead of a postback.
