AJAX Timer Keeps Looping/PostBack problem

[some1uk03]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a 2 second Delay before I initiate a File Download Link.

The problem is, it all works but once the Save Dialog appears, then Timer is supposed to TURN OFF. But then it keeps on calling Page_Load event again, which enables the timer. So it keeps sending/showing the File Save Dialog constantly in a loop.

The thing is it seems to work when I test it on the Development machine, but when uploaded on the server it goes back to a loop.

I have this to try & prevent the loop:

Basically its a label which holds the full URL once its initialised. But empty on form_Load.

If Not lblFileURL.Text = vbNullString Then
Timer1.Enabled = False
Exit Sub
End If

How Do I prevent this. It is a PostBack problem I believe.
