Problem with w3c validator in script definition of doPostBack

[Alfonso Alvarez]

Hi:
I'm doing a web page using asp.net and framework 1.1. When I upload the
page to server and try it with html validator of w3c, trying with html 4.01
an xhtml 1.0, I receive an error in the script definition of __doPostBack
method because de element type is not defined. This script is automatically
generated by the compiler or by the server.
I used the same page into an IIS over windows XP and generates correct
code (script with element type). The problem becomes when I use the page
into an IIS over windows 2003, the script generated in that case not
includes the element type. The framework of both versions are the same:
1.1.4322.
Is there any way to configure this definition?

It must be:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
---------------------
<!--
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
var theform;
if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("m icrosoft") > -1) {
theform = document.Form1;
}
else {
theform = document.forms["Form1"];
}
theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget.split("$").join(":");
theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theform.submit();
}
// -->
</script>
and IIS on Windows 2003 generates:

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
var theform;
if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("n etscape") > -1) {
theform = document.forms["Form1"];
}
else {
theform = document.Form1;
}
theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget.split("$").join(":");
theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theform.submit();
}
// -->
</script>

Lot of thanks

its actually worse, the hidden fields:

__EVENTTARGET
__EVENTARGUMENT

are not legal element id's or names.

Hi:
I don't understand your response. My problem (by now) is not this
fields. The problem becomes before in de script definition.
Anyway, this fields are created by server into the html page that
returns.
Thanks
