ms ajax $find('clientID') keeps coming up with error

Question

Hi. I have a modal extender called modal2 and when I call

$find('modal2').show();

It comes up with a classic error saying 'null' is null or not an object;

I searched google a bit and made all the related controls to be visible for testing purpose but it has not made any difference.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks.

Hey,

Check the client ID; unless you are using clientIDmode of static, it would be something like: ct100_contentplaceholder_modal2 and so you have to do:

$find("<%= modal2.ClientID %>")

instead to properly get the ID.

HTH.
