Hi, I have a website that's developed in ASP.NET and uses the AJAX Toolkit (asp:ToolkitScriptManager) for a couple of extenders. The AJAX effects (e.g. ) work perfectly across IE 7, IE8, FF3.5, Safari, and Chrome. However, I embedded my site in a desktop Flex-AdobeAir application using the component which is able to run the entire site including javascript except where the AJAX is used.
I narrowed the source of the problem down to the difference between using asp:ToolkitScriptManager and asp:ScriptManager. Here's an example page that will display "Safari" in the embedded flex browser as the result of document.write(Sys.Browser.name):
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Register assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" tagprefix="asp" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title>Flex test</title>
</head>
<body>
<form runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="TheScriptManager" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(Sys.Browser.name);
</script>
</form>
</body>
</html>
However, if you change
<asp:ScriptManager ID="TheScriptManager" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
to
<asp:ToolkitScriptManager ID="TheScriptManager" runat="server"></asp:ToolkitScriptManager>
it suddenly does not display anything on the flex browser.
Can anyone help? Thank you.
