ajax beta 1.0 run well in firefox 2.0 , but does not work in IE6 SP1 (winXp or win2000)

I migrate my company website form atlas to ajax beta 1.0 ,but there are script erros in IE6 SP1 (winXP or win2000) when I call web serviece from javascript.the

win2000 OS is updated to SP4 and the winXP OS is updated to SP1,but ajax does not run. when some winXP pc OS is updated to SP2,ajax run well.

By compared, ajax run well in firefox 2.0.

there are many IE users who need my help to run my website ,but who can help me?

Hi,

ASP.NET team member, Chris Riccio has pointed that this problem maybe be caused by a bug in IE 6 SP1 concerning to HTTP compression. In fact, I was able to fix it installing the patch KB912812 on the clients.

Ajax Based Login Control

How can I have ajax based login on my website home page ? How can I use built in login control in asp.net 2.0 to implement ajax ..

I want a login functionality as we use in gmail kindly guide me please

This really depends on how you do your login page. If you're login page is a seperate page (than the rest of your app), AJAX will only help you in that it will not "flick" when someone enter's wrong credentials.

However, if you have a "login" control that is added to a page if they're not logged in, you can use an AJAX callback to add that control do the page. You can use UpdatePanels if you need.

I have my login Control with in the page but i want to sent only that login form to server and remain rest page as it is ...how to do this pls guide

hello.
well, you do have some options here. for instance, you can use the client side validation services and build a simple form that will do just that.

AJAX Baby Steps - removing an item

i am working on my first little ajax project.

Basically i have no idea how to start. I created a AJAX enabled website and i have a simple page on there that basically has a list of items taken from a Class thats stored in the session.

So I have

1 Gridview that bases its DataSource to a Dataset i create from a object (just a class that contains an array list)

2. I have methods in place to loop through the array list, create a datatable and bind it to the gridview

3. I have a method that also removes a selected item from a dataset and refreshes the gridview its a "remove" button.

I would like to have AJAX handle the removal of items (for now, eventually i want the whole thing ajax enabled) but just to start i want to just activate my Remove method from ajax.

But i dont know where to go from here.

So what do i have to do to call my method via AJAX ?

Any advice or help appreciated!

thanks

mcm

well i seem to have figured it out although i dont know what i did or how it works!

I added the ScriptManager tag to the page.

I added an UpdatePanel surrounding my Gridview,

and now my REMOVE buttons work without postbacks!

Holy Momma! How did it do it?!? I thought i'd have to be writing javascript and hooking into new events , etc.

is it REALLY all this easy?

mcm

Yep, it can really be that easy. caveat, though; the UpdatePanels can get pretty heavy in terms of resource requirements if you use them extensively, and there are also issues with certain combinations of controls (witness the volume on the forum of "Update panel and my..." posts. For simple things like you're describing, they work very well, though.

great! So now that i have seen how easy it "can be". I do have a couple more questions.

I created a sample AJAX enabled site to test this bin and it works GREAT im so impressed with myself.

But how complicated is it going to be to make this a component. My idea for the site is to use Master Pages (another first for me)

and down the left side this "component" will sit. I still dont know wether to make it a component or just a content page.

There will be a repeater or a formView on the right with products to add to the bin. I want those to be ajax enabled too. Is it hard to make different elements in different content pages "speak" to each other? Really all im doing (as stated in the first post) is adding items to a Collection stored in a Session Variable (using a facade pattern with a SessionManager class)

Also. I am using the new Web Application templates to build my stuff (from ScottGu's blogs) Can i switch this AJAX enabled site to be a WEb Application and keep the functionality?

thanks,

mcm

Hi Ravi amber,

I'm failed to get clear enough with your question. So would you please explain what you want more clearly? Thanks.

AJAX and WebApplication Project Type

I have a VS2003 Web project I converted to VS2005 sp1 WebApplication project (not WebSite project). I wanted to add AJAX to this web application so I followed the directions outlined in the video on the AJAX site. I added all the entries to the web.config without any trouble. I added the ScriptManager control to one of the pages and an UpdatePanel. I also had to set a reference tosystem.web.ui. System.Web.Extensions However, when I try to drag some of the asp.net controls already on the page (drop down boxes) to the update panel, it does not seem to be accepting them. They are not "dropping into" the update panel. The panel does not highlight when I drag the controls over it.

What am I missing?

EDIT: The reference I set was System.Web.Extensions...not web.ui.

Apart from working with the Designer, have you tried working around in the HTML to see if its working?

Wrap your controls with the UpdatePanel and see if the page is working.

-Thanks

It's hard to tell without seeing the web.config, etc. The easiest way (and the method I used) is to create a new project, and view the differences between the web.config files and references.

I copied all of my project-specific settings (the ones that I added myself) to the web.config for the new project, then copied the resulting file to my actual upgraded project. It worked for me!

Just be sure to make backup copies of the old web.config, just in case you need to revert.

I will give this a try. I originally did it the other way around (copied web.config entries from the emtpy project to my project). Thank you for the response.

This approach worked. I added the Script Manager and Update Panel to the Page then switched to HTML view. I moved the Script Manager tags to be just under the first FORM tag. I wrapped the code I wanted in the Update Panel tags and *important part* ContentTemplate tags.

I don't know why it does not work within the designer...I will have to try and figure that out another day. Thanks all for the quick responses.

AJAX and Master Pages

I seem to be having some trouble using AJAX and the ControlToolkit with Master Pages.

Just to make sure, I created a new website based on the AJAXControlToolkit template.

and a simple default.aspx - it only has a scriptmanager, panel ( with some text in it), linkbutton and AnimationExtender.

it is set to show/hide the panel when the linkbutton is hovered on - this works as expected.

Then, I create a masterpage.master file and a new WebForm based on this master file.

using the same markup fro the default.aspx page, I get a page that looks the same as default.aspx

but does not show/hide the panel and has a Javascript error as follows:

Sys.ArgumentException:

AjaxControlToolkit.Animation.Animation.set_animationTarget requires the ID of a Sys.UI.DomElement or Sys.UI.Control.

No element or control could be found corresponding to 'Panel1'

Parameter name: id

It seems as though the controls are being renamed and I might need to change the TargetControlID on PageLoad or something.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Mike

This is the difference between server ID and client ID. The .ClientID property of a control can be used to get its client ID and should help here.

Ajax and displaying information

Hi everyone:

a) Say, i have a website and a user types a keyword to search for a particular item which has to be retrieved from the databases using the "Search box", would Ajax help me in anyway. If not, what would be the best solution so that the information is displayed to the user in the shortest amount of time.

b) What doe Ajax really do and when is it useful to omplement Ajax in your website design ? (Help! I am new to programming so I would appreciate it if I could get like a simple explanation :)

Thanks
Lisa Green

AJAX can be used to update the user's page after it has initially been sent to the users browser (by using javascript as it's language to make and receive calls to the web server), and without the full page having to post back. It could be used in your situation, however it should only be used to enhance the existing functionality of the site so if you do use it, make sure you still provide this functionality to those users who can't (or don't want to) take advantage of the AJAX methods.
