centered update progress

Hi;

I usually have my update progress control on the top of the page but on long pages, the user can't see it.

On codeplex.com, when i insert some text on "Search Projects" (upper right) and hit the search button, an "Updating" message is showed on the center of the page and the rest of the page becomes gray. Can i get this same result using AJAX update progress?

Thanks in advance;

If that is what you want, you should probably use the ModalPopup control. Try it at: http://asp.net/AJAX/Control-Toolkit/Live/ModalPopup/ModalPopup.aspx

Pls checkout this link, it got some cool example of Moal Popup extenderhttp://mattberseth.com/blog/modalpopupextender

See this link for AJAX Progress bar in the middle of page
