Javascript alert - Smart Navigation problem

Marc Castrechini

With SmartNavigation=true a call to display a simple javascript alert
returns in IE showing an "Invalid Pointer" error.

Apparently when SmartNavigation is disabled then the alert works correctly.

When I remove the <doctype> tag the alert works again.

I'd prefer to keep a doctype tag in my page if at all possible.

Doc type:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

Javascript function in code behind:
Public Sub ASPNET_MsgBox(ByVal Message As String)

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<SC RIPT
LANGUAGE=""JavaScript"">" & vbCrLf)

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("ale rt(""" & Message & """)" &
vbCrLf)

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("</SCRIPT>")

End Sub
Does anyone know why this is?

Hi Castro,

From your description, you found that when the asp.net's smart navigation
is turn on, if we use response.
write to write a clienscript block to client such as
<script language='javascript'>alert('message');</script>, it will failed
with "invalid pointer"

I've also tested on my side and did found this problem. I think this
problem is likely due to the Response.Write's output is conflicting with
the smartnavigation's output
script. The response.Write will always write out all the content before
the page's render out content. I recommend that you try using
"RegisterStartupScript " to register the client script, the
"RegisterStartupScript " will ensure that the script block is rendered
within the Page's body and in the proper location. You can retireve the
current Request 's Page handler via
HttpContext.Current.Handler
and call the page's RegisterStartupScript to write out the messagebox script

For example:
Public Sub ASPNET_MsgBox(ByVal Message As String)

Dim script As String = "<script
language='javascript'>alert('{0}');</script>"
Dim page As System.Web.UI.Page = HttpContext.Current.Handler

page.RegisterStartupScript("showmb", String.Format(script, Message))

End Sub

Please have a try to see whether this helps. Thanks.
