Default atlas:UpdatePanel Default Behavior

I feel that the default behavior for an update panel should include disabling the content/controls it contains while an update is occuring (Make all the anchors turn into divs, disable all form inputs, etc.. etc..), or at least an option for toggling that functionality. Then the atlas:UpdateProgress could contain a cancel button that would re-enable the update panel's content. It seems to me that most people would expect that behavior and it would really help developers AJAX code be a little tighter.

hello.

hum...i think that you can do that by injecting javascript on the page during the events generated by the pagerequestmanager client class...another option would be to build an extender ;)

Well, I'm sure there are plenty of ways to do it; however, what I'm trying to say is it would be nice if either (A) it was the default behavior of an atlas:updatepanel while it is updating or (B) there was a property that could easily be set to accomplish this disableDuringUpdate="true" or something like that.

My reasoning is simply that I believe many people will end up writing that code themselves while one of the main goals of .NET seems to be to write less code and make it easier for a developer to produce results faster. I don't think it would be very difficult to include with the AJAX/Atlas extensions.
