ASP.NET Form - Postback bug or me being a dimwit?

[Alex Shirley]

I'm probably being ignorant here but I've done this:

a)Created a aspx form which contains a radio button list as well as a
submit button

b)Set the radio button list to autopostback, the idea being that the
form will change when a radio button is hit (haven't coded this in
yet). This is the only control set for this behaviour.

I'm experiencing the following:

When compiling the page IE comes up with "Line 149: Char 29, Error:
Expected ‘;'
Code:0

On inspection of the html code generated it appears to be referring to
the following JavaScript that must have been generated by ASP.NET:

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
var theform;
if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("n etscape") > -1)
{
theform = document.forms["_ctl10:frmSubscribe"];
}
else {
theform = document._ctl10:frmSubscribe;
}
theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget.split("$").join(":");
theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theform.submit();
}
// -->
</script>
and

"theform = document._ctl10:frmSubscribe;"

appears to contain the error in question (missing ;).

Has anybody experienced this in Visual Studio 2003 (release version)
and do they know how to get around it (without comprising on browser
compatibility), considering the code is autogenerated.

I think I've covered the necessary, further details and code upon
request

Many Thanks!

Yeah, I read this, but it says it only applies to
Framework 1.0. I have removed Framework 1.0 (using
Add/Remove Programs) and am using 1.1 and VS .NET 2003
which says it uses Framework 1.1. I am still getting the
error. Our web tech won't install the HotFix until I can
prove that it affects 1.1 also. I have found nothing on
MSDN to prove this.

Does anyone know if this bug was supposed to be fixed in
Framework 1.1. Since the Knowledgebase article was just
posted a month ago, I doubt the fix was in 1.1, but I
can't prove it!

Thanks.

According to the knowledgebase article that Vidar supplied:

INFO: Post-RTM .NET Framework 1.1 ASP.NET Hotfix Package Symptoms
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Microsoft ASP.NET (included with the .NET Framework 1.1)

Think that answers your Q!

Now has anybody got that patch?

Cheers

Alex
