ajax panel inside LayoutColumn, not ajaxed

[moegal]

I am using the sticky footer example and also a master page.  I have added a asp:panel inside a LayoutColumn which is in a LayoutRow and that of course is inside a RadPageLayout.

I can manually add the button and the panel to the ajax manager but the loading panel is never fired.

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server" DefaultLoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1">
            <AjaxSettings>
                <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="ButtonContact">
                    <UpdatedControls>
                        <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="PanelContactForm" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" />
                    </UpdatedControls>
                </telerik:AjaxSetting>
            </AjaxSettings>
        </telerik:RadAjaxManager>
        <telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel ID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" runat="server" Skin="Glow" MinDisplayTime="5000">
        </telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel>

If I try to use the ajax config wizard then neither the button or the panel are available to me. How can I reference them so they are ajax-ed? I have tried multiple combinations of the following as well.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           Panel PanelContactForm1 = (Panel)PageLayoutMaster.FindControl("PanelContactForm");
           Button ButtonContact1 = (Button)PanelContactForm1.FindControl("ButtonContact");
           RadAjaxManager1.AjaxSettings.AddAjaxSetting(ButtonContact1, PanelContactForm1);
       }

Thanks, Marty

Hello.

I am not quite sure what exactly is happening. I created a very very simple page based on the description you provided. It works at my end. (Attached)

Can you test if it works at your side too?

I had a div in my footer with a class that had position:absolute.

Once I removed that, the form started to work properly.
I did not realize something so simple could break ajax.

Thanks, Marty
