Avoid SmartNavigation

I've done some investigating about various problems with the SmartNavigation
feature. It seems to me that the general consensus is to avoid
SmartNavigation like the plague. It's really a shame that such a
potentially handy feature has been rendered useless because of all of the
bugs surrounding it.

Has Microsoft acknowledged the existence of the many bugs with
SmartNavigation ? If so, have we any indication as to if and when these will
be fixed?

Thanks for any updates.

I concur.
This smartnavigation feature is just not ready for prime time. You should
see what it does to OWC controls in the page. It's a plague for real.

I have a datalist with an itemedittemplate. When I have smartnavigation on, I can't exit out from edit mode with EditItemIndex = -1. When smartnavigation is off, everything works fine. I know smartnavigation has problems. It seems this is one of them. I am thinking of simulating smartnavigation using anchor links. Anyone had success with them? karim

Hi All I wanted to enable "SmartNavigation" in my site. For this I put <pages smartNavigation="true" /> in web.config file. So far so good. But it causes the link from the aspx pages to the css files be broken. When an aspx page opens up for the first time, it displayed everything fine as per the linked css file. But after postback the page is displayed without any formatting, i.e. as if it could not find the css file.

A web user control exposes a RadioButtonList (with AutoPostBack = true) called "Question". This control also has an embedded RequiredFieldValidator control. 1. Main ASPX page is populated with several "Questions". 2. Within the code of the main page, there is a SelectedIndexChanged handler for the RadioButtonList exposed by Question. The function loops through a number of questions on the pages and hides/shows questions (control.visible...

Hi, I have an ASP.NET application that works fine in my testing server. However, when I uploaded it into a hosting server, page SmartNavigation option and server side redirection, such as FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage, quit working. They told me to recompile the code there, and it did not solve these issues. Do you have any clue what might cause the difference? Thank you very much.

Hi all... I rather confuse using smartnavigation in my web application because if I set the "smartnavigation = true" then If I run my app, then after I post page that page, using event dropdownlist1_selectedIndexChanged then the page would't get the css, and then the IE will generate error confirmation dialog, then my browser will be closed. I'm using iframe for my app, 2 frame -> top frame and content frame. I use smartnavigation for...

We enabled smartnavigation on our pages to reduce flickering on browsers that recognise it. However MSIE 6 crashes after a few pages that have a <base target=_self> tag in it. I am using MSIE 6.0.2800.1106 We can reproduce the problem under win XP and W2K We investigated other problems related to smartnavigation (in particular style sheet loss etc). It seems best not to use smartnavigation

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
