Issue with RadAjaxManagerProxy, FormDecorator, asp:Button

[Yash]

The issue looked very bizzarre to me.
- I am using a RadAjaxManagerProxy on my user control. (I do have a RadAjaxManager on my MasterPage)
- I am using a Form Decorator (on Masterpage) which decorates "All" elements it can.
I have 3 buttons in the user control, mark up related to them is,

<ASP:BUTTON id="btSmptApply" runat="server" Width="100px"  Text="Apply"
Enabled="False" onclick="btSmptApply_Click" ValidationGroup="mail"
meta:resourcekey="btSmptApplyResource1"></ASP:BUTTON> &nbsp;
<ASP:BUTTON id="btVerifySmtp" runat="server" Width="100px"  Text="Verify"
ENABLED="False" onclick="btVerifySmtp_Click"  ValidationGroup="mail"
 meta:resourcekey="btVerifySmtpResource1"></ASP:BUTTON>&nbsp;
<ASP:BUTTON id="btSMTPCancel" runat="server" Width="100px"  Text="Reset"
 CAUSESVALIDATION="False" onclick="btCancel_Click" meta:resourcekey="btSMTPCancelResource1">
</ASP:BUTTON>&nbsp;

The settings of these buttons in RadAjaxManagerProxy is,
<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="btSmptApply"></telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl>
<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="btVerifySmtp"></telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl>
<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="btSMTPCancel"></telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl>

When these lines are enabled, the buttons align Vertically automatically, the following html is inserted automatically for each button:

<div style="display: block;" id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ConfigureMailServer1_btVerifySmtpPanel">

When I comment out the above lines of RadAjaxManagerProxy, the buttons align horizontally(as I want them to be).
My Questions:
1. Why is this happening?
2. What does RadAjaxManager to do with Alignment?
3. I worked with conventional Ajax (xmlHttpRequest object) etc alot. What role does RadAjaxManager play? why is it needed in a webpage?

Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

Hi Yash,

You can set the UpdatePanelsRenderMode property of RadAjaxManager to "Inline" to make it render the update panels that way. You can also check the following article about this control:
