I have a customer that wants a table of contents built inside a dropdown list box. The problem is that the material for the book is in an XML file, the webform connects the XML with an XSLT file. A profile variable contains the filename of the chapter to be built. There is more than one book so the webform in the builder knows nothing about contents until runtime. All appears to work correctly until time for asp to parse the controls. The controls are coming out as
Code:
<asp:linkbutton name="chapter1Link" runat="server" OnClick="chapter1Link_Click">Chapter1</asp:linkbutton>
not
Code:
<a id="chapter1lin " href="javascript:__doPostBack('chapter1Link','')">Chapter1</a>
Here is a sample of the simular code
XML
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="ChapterConverter.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<chapter number="6" title="Fashion Week: Presenting the Collections To the Buyers">
