Hi,
I developed an ASP 1.1 application on my system. I tested it and it worked fine. Then i deployed it to a production server.But running it for the first time,i discovered that none of the buttons posted back.When you click on any of the buttons,they just dont respond i.e. they dont post back. and i ensured that that EnableViewState for the webform and the buttons were set to True. Yet the server code wasnt executed.

Pls help. Thanks

hi,
r ur button's "runat" property is set to "server" or not,if not set it 2 server n try again

hhkris4u that is likely not the problem because if I declare a button such as:

<asp:Button id="name" text="foo" />

the runtime will generate an error similiar to: "Server tags require the runat="server" attribute" when i try to view the page.

innochig, this makes no sense could you explain further.

-------------------------
I will only tell you how to do it, not do it for you.
Unless, of course, you want to hire me to do work for you.

dparsons... please help.

Here is what I got... Old Box, running 2K Pro., Internet Services Manager (IIS 5.0), 1.1 Framework, 2.0 Framework, and the AJAX RC. In the IIS, I have a virtual directory running on the 1.1 framework. IE 6.0.2800.1106. Everything is peachy. Site runs without problems.

New Box - XP Pro, IIS 5.1, 1.1 Framework, 2.0 Framework, and the AJAX RC. In the IIS, I have a virtual directory running on the 1.1 framework. IE 6.0.2900.2180. I run the site and about80% of the <asp:button>'s do nothing.

Both are running the exact same code.

On the Page: <asp:button id="btn_Save" runat="server" tabindex="37" Font-Bold="true" CssClass="btnstyle" Width="112px" Height="24px" Text="Update Ticket"></asp:button>

On the Code Behind:

Sub btn_Save_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_Save.Click

I do some db stuff in here, not relevant.

End Sub

I seriously plan to re-write this app in 2.0, but in the meantime, I have to have a stable area in order to do my dev work, and when no buttons work, it is not stable.

I have checked all the IIS settings on both machines, gone over all the files (web config, project, etc.).

At wits end,

Doug


smell that - that's tension...

How does the final HTML in the browser look like?

While typing this post, I was listening to: Fight Against Oppression / Pure Science by Terry Francis (Track 5 from the album: Architecture) What's This?

The problem must lie in the IIS. When I browse to the dev site on the old box, it comes up and buttons work. When I try to browse out to the "new" site on my new dev box, buttons do not work. Woudl the different versions of IIS (5.0 and 5.1) be causing the buttons not to function? Is it because it is set up as a virtual directory?

The HTML of the buttons is:
<TD style="WIDTH: 125px; HEIGHT: 25px">
<input type="submit" name="btn_Save" value="Update Ticket" onclick="if (typeof(Page_ClientValidate) == 'function') Page_ClientValidate(); " language="javascript" id="btn_Save" tabindex="37" class="btnstyle" style="font-weight:bold;height:24px;width:112px;" /></TD>

Does the site that doesn't work have an aspnet_Client folder in the root of the site?

This folder contains the client side scripts used for validation, and are required for the validation controls to function properly.

I had to put it there. It had the 2.0 folder, so I copied the 1_1_4322 folder over.

It's put there automatically for existing sites when ASP.NET 1.x is installed. However, for new sites, you need to manually copy it there. .NET 2 no longer uses this folder.

Does it work now?

If it's a <input type="submit" /> button it should always sent the form to the server. Is it possible that the validation prevents this on the client side via JavaScript?

Did you try other types of buttons like LinkButtons, ImagesButtons?
