You NEED the .Show() method. Your DropDownList is a PostBack and AJAX closes the popup on Postback

Already i tried...when i click on first dropdown...it will close the window and after it will open ...its not looking good because window is jumping down to up....below code i wrote in load page and inside dropdown list..

ModalPopupExtender1.Show();

if there is any another solution can u please explain it?

Why doing popups? Popup is evil. Many customers are annoyed by them and will suppress showing popups using browser features/plug-ins designed for this purpose. There are some alternatives, very reasonable ones.

Please see my comment where I explain why not using popup. For a really good alternative, you can use one of jQuery plug-in solution. Isn't the "modal window" feature referenced below reasonable enough? Please see:

http://www.queness.com/post/77/simple-jquery-modal-window-tutorial[^].

Locate and click "See the Demo" areas to see how it works. There are many other controls.

If you need to learn jQuery, please see:

What's the purpose of this code, if you did not show a single script? Use jQuery dialog or a modal window and be happy.
