Country selector fires postback if inside updatepanel

Dmitriy Nenazhenko asked on June 27, 2016 08:42

Hi all, I am trying to add form into updatepanel. In my form there is country selector exists.
When I select country postback happens. How to avoid this? Because I have if(isPostBack && Page.IsValid) condition on my forms OnLoad, so if it passes then I show different layout.
But country selector every time does postback and every time page is valid.

updatepanel selector form

That's how the country selector is designed. It has to check if there is no state to list (some of the countries have states assigned -> like USA) and you can specify your own ones. That's why it fires a postback.

You can workaround it easily by using simple dropdown list form control that selects only countries (db -> CMS_Country) or using the Uni selector (cms.country).
