Conditionally display ConfirmButtonExtender

ConfirmButtonExtender is a nice way to build a kindly ModalPopup ConfirmPanel. Sometimes, we hope to show ConfirmButtonExtender only if it satisfies certain conditions, rather than it's popped out once we click the button.
For example, I have a RequiredFieldValidator Validation control on the page. ConfirmButtonExtender should not display even though I click the submit button untill I input something in the TextBox.

See the code:

<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <ajaxToolkit:toolkitscriptmanager runat="Server" EnablePartialRendering="true" 
            ID="ScriptManager1" />
    
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" ></asp:TextBox>   
        <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server" ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator" ControlToValidate="TextBox1"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

        <asp:Button ID="Button" runat="server" Text="Click Me" OnClientClick="disableSubmit();return false;" OnClick="Button_Click" /><br />
        <br />
        Server Time Refresh: <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>
        <asp:Button ID="HiddenButton" runat="server" Text="Hiddenbutton" style="display:none;" /><br />     
        <ajaxToolkit:ConfirmButtonExtender ID="ConfirmButtonExtender2" runat="server" 
            TargetControlID="HiddenButton"
            OnClientCancel="cancelClick" BehaviorID="ConfirmButtonBehavior"
            DisplayModalPopupID="ModalPopupExtender1"  />
        <br />
        <ajaxToolkit:ModalPopupExtender ID="ModalPopupExtender1" runat="server" 
        TargetControlID="HiddenButton" 
        PopupControlID="PNL" 
        OkControlID="ButtonOk" 
        CancelControlID="ButtonCancel" BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground" 
        />
        <asp:Panel ID="PNL"  runat="server" style="display:none; width:200px; background-color:White; border-width:2px; border-color:Black; border-style:solid; padding:20px;">
            Are you sure you want to click the Button1?
            <br /><br />
            <div style="text-align:right;">
                <asp:Button ID="ButtonOk" runat="server" Text="OK" OnClientClick="onOkScript()" />
                <asp:Button ID="ButtonCancel" runat="server" Text="Cancel" />
            </div>
        </asp:Panel>
    </form>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">

function disableSubmit()
{
    if (typeof(Page_ClientValidate)=='function')
    {
        if (Page_ClientValidate() == true)
        {
            return checkSubmit();
        }
        else
        {
            return true;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        return checkSubmit();
    }
}

function checkSubmit() {

    var confirmButton = $find('ConfirmButtonBehavior');
    
    confirmButton._displayConfirmDialog();

}
function onOkScript() {
    var confirmButton = $find('ConfirmButtonBehavior');
    confirmButton._postBackScript = "__doPostBack(\u0027Button\u0027,\u0027\u0027)"; //reset bind onto Button

}
</script>

protected void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Label1.Text = "You clicked the " + ((Control)sender).ID + " at " + DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString() + ".";
}

Custom AutoComplete 4: Build an UpdateProgress for AutoComplete

I have introduced some kinds of Custom AutoComplete. Again, there is an another one -- Build an UpdateProgress for AutoComplete.

Check the code directly:

<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
    <style>
        .autocomplete_completionListElement
        {
            visibility: hidden;
            margin: 0px !important;
            background-color: inherit;
            color: windowtext;
            border: buttonshadow;
            border-width: 1px;
            border-style: solid;
            cursor: 'default';
            overflow: auto;
            height: 200px;
            text-align: left;
            list-style-type: none;
            font-family: courier new;
            font-size: 8pt;
        }
        /* AutoComplete highlighted item */.autocomplete_highlightedListItem
        {
            background-color: #e3ec6e;
            color: black;
            padding: 1px;
        }
        /* AutoComplete item */.autocomplete_listItem
        {
            background-color: window;
            color: windowtext;
            padding: 1px;
        }
        body, div, p, h1, h2, h3, h4, ul, li, table
        {
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
            border: none;
        }
    </style>
</head>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function pageLoad() {
        $find('autocomplteextender1').add_populated(shownev); //if no result, this event will not be triggered and "loading" can't be hidden. But if result is exist, hiding event will be triggered when the user selects value to hide popuplist.So we need populated event to hide "loading" when the result is not empty.

        $find('autocomplteextender1').add_populating(populatingev);
        $find('autocomplteextender1').add_hiding(onhiding); // no matter the result is empty or not, hiding event will be triggered. If the result is empty, it will trigger hiding event after response returned. If the result is exist, hiding event will be triggered after user selected value to hide popuplist.
    }
    function onhiding() {

        var updateProgress = $get('<%= UpdateProgress2.ClientID %>');
        var dynamicLayout = '<%= UpdateProgress2.DynamicLayout.ToString().ToLower() %>';

        if (dynamicLayout) {
            updateProgress.style.display = "none";
        }
        else {
            updateProgress.style.visibility = "hidden";
        }
    }
    function shownev() {
        var updateProgress = $get('<%= UpdateProgress2.ClientID %>');
        var dynamicLayout = '<%= UpdateProgress2.DynamicLayout.ToString().ToLower() %>';

        if (dynamicLayout) {
            updateProgress.style.display = "none";
        }
        else {
            updateProgress.style.visibility = "hidden";
        }

    }
    function populatingev() {

        var dynamicLayout = '<%= UpdateProgress2.DynamicLayout.ToString().ToLower() %>';

        if (dynamicLayout) {
            updateProgress.style.display = "block";
        }
        else {

My folio site up and running

Heyo!
So I finally just finished my putting together a folio website with all of my uni work, and hopefully soon professional work too.
Not much more to say about it, check it out here:
http://www.ultra-awesome.com/

It would be cool to get some feedback on what people think looks good/doesn't look good, or any spelling errors etc. I might have made.
