GridView moves/flickers page

Imar,

Hi, thank you for your book. I began my ASP.NET journey last summer and largely due to your book, I got the skills to build a dynamic website. My website is close to going live.

But I have a problem that I was hoping that you could look at.

www.sc2saga.com/ladder/ladder.aspx

There are 3 buttons: CLAN, DOUBLES, SINGLES

I am using a Multiview and each button changes to a different view. The default is the CLAN view.

- When you click DOUBLES, the entire page moves/flickers a little to the right.

However, if you are on CLAN and you click SINGLES, there is no flicker.

I don't think it's an Update Panel issue as I have one covering my entire page.

- The same effect happens if you are on CLAN view, and you change the Region (dropdown menu). The flicker occurs if you go from Global to any other region or back to Global. However, if you go to e.g., Americas to China (subregion to subregion), it's no problem. It's only if you go from Global to subregion and back to Global. I am using a sqldatasource for Global and binding to a different sqldatasource when a subregion is selected.

- I tested this on 4 browsers. It doesn't have this problem on Firefox, but the problem occurs on IE, Chrome, and Safari.

I have a few more details but perhaps this is enough to examine. Help is greatly appreciated as I am stumped on why this occurs and don't have much idea on how to fix.

Thank you,

- Nano

Hi there,

The page doesn't flicker for me on IE 9. Could this be a cache issue?

Not a cache issue. More like my desktop has mental issues ...

I browsed using my laptop and it works fine on 3 of the browsers ...

Sorry to post this here when it's not a code issue ... sucks that I spent so much time thinking about something that wasn't a code issue ...
