Ive got ASP:Button on my page:
OnClientClick="return CheckTerms();" CssClass="submit" OnClick="BtnRegister_OnClick" />
OnClientClick I do js to check something and according to the check result I would like to proceed postback or not.
On all browsers it works (when false is returned from OnClientClick there is no postback) but situation is different on ie 7 where postback goes
any hints ?
thank You very much for help
for the sake of clarity here is the code that doesnt work either:
function CheckTerms() {
return false;
}
Here is how buttons are rendered:
IE
chrome:
<input type="submit" name="ctl00$plhMain$Register$btnRegister" value="??????????????????" onclick="return CheckTerms();" id="ctl00_plhMain_Register_btnRegister" class="submit">
Please notice that I use PIE.htc on my inputs but on button no.
what is this ? jQuery16100078065287469022415
My guess is that an error is being thrown in IE7, and when an error is thrown it doesn't return false, and it will continue on with the postback. You probably used a method that's not supported in IE7, or that acts differently than intended. Without the actual javascript method and any relevant markup I couldn't say for sure though.
I have couple of update panels and jquery tabs on page. And also I am loading couple user controls on update panels. After user waited for couple of minutes (not checked the time approx 40 mins). when user send request from submit button it is giving below error?
'Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException:
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: An unknown
error occurred while processing the request on the server. The status
code returned from the server was: 0' when calling method:
[nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]
I am not able trace this issue to fix. But I am sure. This is causing by Ajax. Gurus, if you knows solution. Please let me know.
This issue sometimes occurs when you have a control registered as an AsyncPostbackTrigger in multiple update panels.
If that's not the problem, try adding the following right after the script manager declaration, which I found in this post by manowar83, which copies and slightly modifies this post by larryw:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(EndRequestHandler);
function EndRequestHandler(sender, args){
if (args.get_error() != undefined){
args.set_errorHandled(true);
}
}
</script>
There are a few more solutions discussed here: http://forums.asp.net/t/1066976.aspx/9/10
I had this issue and I spent hours trying to fix it.
The solution ticked as answered will not fix the error only handle it.
The best approach is to check the IIS log files and the error should be there. It appears that the update panel encapsulates the real error and outputs it as a 'javascript error'.
For instance my error was that I forgot to make a class [Serializable]. Although this worked fine locally it did not work when deployed on the server.
I got this error when I had my button in the GridView in an UpdatePanel... deubbing my code I found that the above error is caused because of another internal error "A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client"
Finally I figured out that one of my TextBoxes on the page has XML/HTML content and this in-turn causing above error
when I removed the xml/HTML and tested the button click ... it worked as expected.
I have got the same issue, here I give my problem and my solution hoping this would help someone:
Following other people recommendation I went to the log of the server (Windows Server 2012 in my case) in :
Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer
Then in the left side:
Windows Logs -> Application:
In the warnings I found the message from my site and in my case it was due to a null reference:
*Exception type: NullReferenceException
Exception message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.*
And checking at the function described in the log I found a non initialized object and that was it.
So it could be a null reference exception in the code.
Hope someone find this useful, greetings.
Brother this piece of code is not a solution just change it to
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(EndRequestHandler);
function EndRequestHandler(sender, args){
if (args.get_error() != undefined){
**alert(args.get_error().message.substr(args.get_error().name.length + 2));**
args.set_errorHandled(true);
}
}
</script>
and you will see the error is there but you are just not throwing it on UI.
This solution is helpful too:
Add validateRequest="false" in the <%# Page directive.
This is because ASP.net examines input from the browser for dangerous values. More info in this link
I also faced the same issue , and none of these worked. In my case this was fixed by adding these lines in config file.
<appSettings>
<add key="aspnet:MaxHttpCollectionKeys" value="100000" />
</appSettings>
<system.web.extensions>
<scripting>
<scriptResourceHandler enableCompression="false" enableCaching="true"/>
</scripting>
</system.web.extensions>
This is not the real problem, if you want to see why this is happening then please go to error log file of IIS.
in case of visual studio kindly navigate to:
C:\Users\User\Documents\IISExpress\TraceLogFiles\[your project name]\.
arrange file here in datewise descending and then open very first file.
it will look like:
now scroll down to bottom to see the GENERAL_RESPONSE_ENTITY_BUFFER
it is the actual problem. now solve it the above problem will solve automatically.
For those using the internal IIS of Visual Studio, try the following:
Generate the error message.
Break the debugger at the error display.
Check the callstack. You should see 'raise'.
Double click 'raise'.
Check the internals of 'sender' parameter. You will see a '_xmlHttpRequest' property.
Open the '_xmlHttpRequest' property, and you'll see a 'response' property.
The 'response' property will have the actual message.
I hope this helps someone out there!
Check your Application Event Log - my issue was Telerik RadCompression HTTP Module which I disabled in the Web.config.
#JS5 , I also faced the same issue as you: ImageButton causing exceptions inside UpdatePanel only on production server and IE. After some research I found this:
There is an issue with ImageButtons and UpdatePanels. The update to
.NET 4.5 is fixed there. It has something to do with Microsoft
changed the x,y axis of a button click from Int to Double so you can
tell where on the button you clicked and it's throwing a conversion
error.

I'm using NetFramework 2.0 and IIS 6, so, the suggested solution was to downgrade IE compatibility adding a meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />
I've done this via Page_Load method only on the page I needed to:
Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim tag As HtmlMeta = New HtmlMeta()
tag.HttpEquiv = "X-UA-Compatible"
tag.Content = "IE=9"
Header.Controls.Add(tag)
End Sub
Hope this helps someone.
I had the same issue, when i was trying out a way to solve it, i found out that the update panel was causing this issue. Depending on my requirement i could remove the update panel and get rid of the issue.
So it's a possible solution for the issue.
We also faced the same issue, and the problem could only be reproduced in the server (i.e., not locally, which made it even harder to fix, because we could not debug the application), and when using IE. We had a page with an update panel, and within this update panel a modalpopupextender, which also contained an update panel. After trying several solutions that did not work, we fix it by replacing every imagebutton within the modalpopupextender with a linkbutton, and within it the image needed.
Use the following code below inside updatepanel.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(EndRequestHandler);
function EndRequestHandler(sender, args){
if (args.get_error() != undefined){
args.set_errorHandled(true);
}
}
</script>
For me the problem was that I was using a <button> instead of a <asp:LinkButton>
Some times due to some code you get HTML tags in a text filed, like I was replacing some characters with new line BR tag of HTML and by mistake I also replaced it in the text that was supposed to be displayed in a Multiline text box so my multiline text box had a new line HTML tag BR in it coming dynamically due to my string replace function and I started getting this JavaScript error and as this HTML code was displayed in a text box that was in an update panel I start getting this error so I made the correction and all was fine. So before copying pasting anything please look at your code and see that all tag are closed proper and no irrelevant code data is coming to text boxes or Drop down lists. This error always come due to ill formed tags and irrelevant data.
My fix for this was to remove any HTML markup that was in the Text="" property of a TextBox in my asp.net code, inside an update panel. If you have more than one update panel on a page, it will affect them all, which makes it harder to work out which panel has the issue. Chris's answer above lead me to find this, but his is a very hidden answer but I think a very relevant one so here is an answer explained.
<asp:TextBox ID="bookingTBox" runat="server" ToolTip="" Width="150px" Text="<Auto Assigned>" CssClass="textboxItalicFormat"></asp:TextBox>
The above code will give this error.
The below will not.
<asp:TextBox ID="bookingTBox" runat="server" ToolTip="" Width="150px" Text="Auto Assigned" CssClass="textboxItalicFormat"></asp:TextBox>
In the second textbox code I have removed the < and > from the Text="" property. Please try this before spending time adding lines of script code, etc.
Had this problem when using AsyncFileUploader in an iFrame. Error came when using firefox. Worked in chrome just fine. It seemed like either the parent page or iframe page was loading out of sync and the parent page could not find the controls on the iframe page. Added a simple javascript alert to say that the file was uploaded. This gave the controls enough time to load and since the controls were available, everything loaded without an error.
I had this issue when I upgraded my project to 4.5 framework and the GridView had Empty Data Template. Something changed and the following statement which previously was returning the Empty Data Template was now returning the Header Row.
GridViewRow dr = (GridViewRow)this.grdViewRoleMembership.Controls[0].Controls[0];
I changed it to below and the error went away and the GridView started working as expected.
GridViewRow dr = (GridViewRow)this.grdViewRoleMembership.Controls[0].Controls[1];
I hope this helps someone.
This issue for me was caused by a database mapping error.
I attempted to use a select() call on a datasource with errors in the code behind. My controls were within an update panel and the actual cause was hidden.
Usually, if you can temporarily remove the update panel, asp.net will return a more useful error message.
" 1- Go to the web.config of your application "
" 2- Add a new entry under < system.web > "
3- Also Find the pages tag and set validateRequest=False
Only this works for me. !!
Be sure to put tilde and forward slash(~/) when CDN is the root directory. I think it's an issue in IIS
as my friend #RaviKumar mentioned above one reason of following problem is that some piece of data transferred from code to UI contain raw html tags which make request invalid for example I had a textarea and in my code I had set its value by code below
txtAgreement.Text = Data.Agreement
And when I compiled the page I could see raw html tag inside textarea so I changed textarea to div on which innerhtml works and render html (instead of injecting raw html tags into element) and it worked for me
happy coding
<add key="aspnet:MaxHttpCollectionKeys" value="100000"/ >
Add above key to Web.config or App.config to remove this error.
I got this error when I had ModalPopupExtender in the update panel... deubbing my code I found that the above error is caused because of updatepanel updatemode is conditional... so i change it to always then problem is solved.
This was working fine in my code.. i solved my issue.. really
Add below code in web.config file.
<system.web>
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="999" maxRequestLength="2097151"/>
</system.web>
answer for me was to fix a gridview control which contained a template field that had a dropdownlist which was loaded with a monstrous amount of selectable items- i replaced the DDL with a label field whose data is generated from a function. (i was originally going to allow gridview editing, but have switched to allowing edits on a separate panel displaying the DDL for that field for just that record). hope this might help someone.
This error: Uncaught Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException ....

I have a ASP.NET button which sometimes does not post back. I checked this in IE developer and found that when the button does not work options.clientSubmit is set to false in the function WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions()
My button code
<asp:Button
runat="server"
ID="btnSubmit"
CssClass="button"
OnClick="btnSubmit_Click"
meta:resourcekey="btnSubmitResource1" />
Inside WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(options)
if (options.clientSubmit) {
__doPostBack(options.eventTarget, options.eventArgument);
}
Can anyone tell me why the button sometimes works and sometimes does not? what should I do to make it work always?
This may be a possibility:
Check if you have any Validators on the page which have not been grouped to any ValidationGroup and may be visible false(may be due container is visible false). This validator may be validating the control which is of no relevance under this circumstance and causing the postback to cancel saying it invalid.
If you find any, to group all the related controls, assign a ValidationGroup to all the corresponding Validators and then assign that group to your submit control(whichever causes postback). This is most common mistake I have seen..
Try adding CausesValidation = "False" and see what happens. I suspect you have some validation that isn't passing.
You're not using anything to prevent repeated submission of the form?
I had exactly the same issue, the .Net validation method indicated that the form was valid, but options.clientSubmit was always false :S
The culprit turned out to be:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.prevDblSubmit').preventDoubleSubmit();
})
</script>
This seems that should be working, instead of using meta:resourcekey="btnSubmitResource1", try explicit localization. See question: ASP.NET: explicit vs implicit localization?
in my application i have the playvideo page where video will play, below that i have the option for sharing the video like adding to favorite ,playlist and sending mail.
when i click on any of the link the page is postbacking and video will start from the first.
i place update panel for link button even though it is not working (video is playing from the first i.e., page is postbacking. can u help me. thank you
Actually, the part of page that is within the UpdatePanel does the postback. Make sure you have only those controls(for instance, your links) inside the UpdatePanel.
Alternatively, you can use multiple UpdatePanels; for instance one for your video and one for the links. In this case note that, when one UpdatePanel gets updated other UpdatePanels also gets updated, which you may not want; so all you have to do then is to mark the UpdateMode property to Conditional and call YourDesiredUpdatePanel.Update() method manually - whenever required.
Btw, updating selected portions of the page also reduces the load on the server
Or you may want to look into using client callbacks instead of a postback. But since client callback uses XMLHTTP, which means Microsoft implementation of AJAX, therefore callbacks are just awesome as long as your are working with IE.
You might want to try taking advantage of Page Methods to do the work you need done server side.
http://encosia.com/2008/05/29/using-jquery-to-directly-call-aspnet-ajax-page-methods/
Also, if you want to prevent a control from posting back, you can add return false to the end of your javascript onclick event on the control.
For example, if you had an asp button you were using you could do this:
<asp:Button ID="myButton" runat="server" OnClientClick="DoThingsInJavascript(); return false;" />
Or if you were just using a standard button you could say:
<input type="button" onclick="DoThingsInJavascript(); return false;" />
I've never really liked the update panel and I have sometimes found it's behaviour awful. Have you thought of trying something like a proper ajax call from Javascript
Is there a way to call a javascript function when the selectedIndex of a select input has been changed?
Using this code in the c# code behind file
riskSeverityDropDown.SelectedValue = Convert.ToString(planRisk.Severity);
riskSeverityDropDown.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(riskSeverityDropDown_SelectedIndexChanged);
riskSeverityDropDown.AutoPostBack = true;
want to change something else on the page with javascript when the index is changed.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
You're already going to server code (AutoPostBack is true), which means you're going to rebuild the entire page anyway. Running javascript at this point would be a little silly, because any changes you make to the DOM will be lost and any ajax requests you want to send can instead be handled by normal server code. If you really want to do this, you can just register the script to run when the page loads after the postback.
On the other hand, if you can do this without any server code at all then set AutoPostBack to false and the basic html select control has a nice onchange event you can handle.
Simply add an onchange to your asp:dropdownlist.
<asp:DropDownList ID="riskSeverityDropdown"
AutoPostBack="True"
SelectedIndexChanged="riskSeverityDropDown_SelectedIndexChanged"
onChange="functionName()"
runat="server" />
or to do this from codebehind use:
riskSeverityDropdown.Attributes["onchange"] = "functionName()";
You want to add an attribute to that drop down called "onchange" and set it to call a JavaScript method of your choosing.
Use JQuery. It exposes a rich set of events that you can use to code against practically anything in a uniform manner. It is also quite easy to learn, compact, and popular.
In short you can't go wrong if you use JQuery. It is meant to solve problems like this well.
