The JavaScript that does the async call is in a JS file, which means it isn't in the FORM tag, which means &lt;%...%&gt; can't be used.<br />
<br />
The asynch call request the same aspx page it is linked into. &nbsp;That's why I want to return on the requested content. &nbsp;But since I'm calling the same page, I get all of the HTML layout mixed in as well. &nbsp;Then again, maybe I don't understand what you mean.<br />

I do have a server side HTML DIV tag that has its innerHTML loaded from the code behind on initial page load. &nbsp;I get content from it using the JS. &nbsp;On the async call, I can assign the requested content to this DIV. &nbsp;The problem is that it won't refresh client side since that part of the page isn't getting a partial update.

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
