i have an update panel with 4 panels. when the user select panel 2 i need a control outside the updatepanel to become visible. i can not put the hidden div inside the updatepanel because the contents of the div will not work. how do update the div control from panel 2?
To make visible the control outside updatepanel is not possible upto my knowledge. definitely you have to include that control into another udpatepanel or include it with your 1st updatepanel.
Hi CurlyFro,
Here is the sample to indicate how to show a hidden div, which is out of a UpdatePanel, from a panel click event or a button click event in UpdatePanel. Hope it helps.

If i misunderstood you, please let me know!
i'm creating a registration form. panel1 is my license, panel2 is the registration form, panel3 is my confirmation. on panel2 i have form hints for specific textboxes. how do i get the form hints to be hidden then shown on panel2?
Since you have many steps, I suggesting to wrap these in an Asp.net Wizard Control then put the Wizard Control in an UpdatePanel.
