Disabled UpdateProgress For An Entire Page

I have checked out this solution: Is there a way to disable UpdateProgress for certain async postbacks? But this disables my controls from loading at all! I have an UpdateProgress

Solution 1:

Update Progress renders as a DIV. E.g. if you have something like

<asp:UpdateProgress ID="xupProgress" runat="server"  >
  <ProgressTemplate>
            <img src = "images/LOADING.GIF" alt="Loading..."  />
  </ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>

It will render as

<div id="xupProgress">
  <img src = "images/LOADING.GIF" alt="Loading..."  />
</div>

Knowing this you can add a style to those pages that permanently hides that DIV:

#xupProgress {
    display:none !important
}
