    hi,
    I hope I can explain this clearly!

    I have a text box with extenders autocomplete and watertextmark extender.

    When the watermark extender is on and I select say an item on a datagrid, the textbox looks like it posts, so it disappears for a split second.
    I have the textbox in an ajax update panel.

    If I remove the extender and simply as a test put in some text in the textbox, hit select on my gridview there is no postback, it seems static, which is what I want ( I do have my textbox set to auto postback as I need it ) but just don't want the visibility to the user that it's refreshing or anything.

    Hope someone can help, thanks !

    I thought so :-)

    ok, let me start again

    The textbox I have has an autocomplete on it which is working fine.

    If I type in a name in the textbox and press enter, a list of people appear in my gridview.
    Now, if I type in another name in the textbox and press enter, again, my gridview is populated with new data AND there is NO page refresh. A smooth transition if you get me, I'm not sure of the techie term !

    Now, if I put in the watermark extender on the textbox, the gridview works fine but I notice that my textbox looks like it's posting back to the server, or it's refreshing or dissapearing for a split second.

    I hope that makes it more clear

    Why don't you just post the code?

    here we go.

    I just did up a really simple example so you can see the problem.
    If you click on a page on the datagrid you can see the textbox with the watermark do something funny, whereas the normal text box is fine.
