Why do I encounter an issue with two update panels both set to conditional mode? In the first update panel, I have two dropdowns where selecting an item in the first dropdown triggers the addition of an item in the second dropdown via JavaScript. The second update panel contains a button that initiates a postback. However, after clicking the button, the dropdown items added by JavaScript in the first update panel are mysteriously cleared. I am puzzled as to why this occurs even though the mode is set to conditional.
