Things that work for Firefox but not for Google Chrome

Hello,
I'm a new reader, purchased the book just a month ago..

I have a question regarding the Try It Out in chapter 4,page 105 (printed 105 page and not the adobe reader page 105).

So I've added the controls TextBox, Button, and Label as instructed.
when Button is clicked this code will be fired:

Code:

   Label1.Text = "Your name is" + txtName.Text;

According to the Try It Out-phase 9 and 10:the source of the page (presented in the browser) before entering my name to the textbox and click the Button, should be different from the source of the page after doing so.

Thing is, that its true for firefox, but not for google chrome (source is the same as before).

Is it a problem of the chrome that should be fixed by Google? or is it something solvable with some settings configurations?

10X for any reply people...

Hi there,

Are you saying that you do see your name in the text box after a post back but not in the source? Can you post the code you do see there? And are you sure the page really posted back to the server?

Cheers,

Oh, I see what you're saying now.

Not a real problem though. Apparently, Chrome chooses to display the original source instead.

To see the modified source, right-click the page in Chrome, choose Inspect Element and then expand Body | Form | and then the thrid div element. In there, you'll see the input control with its value set.

If you don't see it, don't worry. This isn't too important. The exercise isn't about the differences between the various browsers, but about how ASP.NET Forms work. Running the example in Firefox demonstrates that more than OK...

Cheers,
