'_EVENTTARGET' is null or not an object

[sun]

Hi
I am developing ASP.NET pages using VS.NET 2003 in windows XP

I dragged and dropped a dropdownlist on the form. The listitem of the dropdownlist was generated based on database reading. The autopostback was set to TRUE
The first time the page loaded fine. But when I change the selection in the dropdownlist, I got an IE error. The error basically says that the '_EVENTTARGET' is null or not an object
The error appears with a little sign on the lower left corner of the IE window

Thanks for you help.

This is a client-side (in the browser) Javascript error.
Kinda sounds like your ViewState is getting corrupted maybe?
Check your IE security settings first.
Could be many other issues, but that's the first that comes to mind. Sure
that others will have more ideas.
