Menu
I've created a page which combines an inline jQuery UI datepicker . I wan't to initiate a callback to the updatepanel when the user clicks a new date to update some data. Now, this page has multiple updatepanels (don't ask :) ), so I need to check which updatepanel did the reload in order to do some stuff clientside. I'm using __doPostBack to do the postback and Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(function(sender, args) {} to listen for when an update is done.
The problem is that in FF the callback tells me that it's not an async operation, and the data I need to have to check which updatepanel did the update is set to null.
My problem is that this works fine in IE, but not in any other browser, which could be caused by 2 things: IE goes into a quirksmode which resolves the issue (this is what I think) or that IE has some sort of native support for the updatepanel that other browsers dont.
I've narrowed the problem down, and produced a testpage:
<!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 runat="server">
<title>Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js "></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.min.js "></script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function doAspNetPostback() {
__doPostBack('<%= hiddenOnSelectionChangedButton.ClientID %>', '');
}
$(document).ready(function() {
/* Create the datepicker */
buildDatepicker();
/* Add callback-method for when the scriptmanager finished a request */
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(function(sender, args) {
/* Show the panelID - This is 'upd1|hiddenOnSelectionChangedButton' in IE as it should be, and null in Chrome / FF */
alert(sender._postBackSettings.panelID);
});
});
function buildDatepicker() {
var dp = $("#datepicker").datepicker({
onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
/* Do a postback when someone clicks a date */
doAspNetPostback();
}
});
}
</script>
<div id="datepicker">
</div>
<asp:UpdatePanel UpdateMode="Conditional" ID="upd1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="hiddenOnSelectionChangedButton" Text="Press me" runat="server" />
<div id="lala" runat="server">
Upd1
</div>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Firing this testpage up in IE will result in a messagebox which shows what it's supposed to, while loading it in FF or Chrome results in a messagebox which says "null" :)
I've tried all sorts of things, but I'm unsure of what could cause this behaviour as I'm not really that deep into the inner workings of jQuery or ASP.NET Ajax. However, if I step through the code in FireBug slow enough it works ... Which leads me to think it might be a problem with interoperability between jQuery callbacks and ASP.NET Ajax callbacks?
Any help or ideas will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
[UPDATE] Tim solved it! Thanks a lot! - Also thanks to everyone who spent their time trying to figure this out :)

I have fixed various async issues with jQuery/Updatepanels using the ScriptMode="Release" argument on the ScriptManager.
<asp:ScriptManager ID="scriptManager" runat="server" ScriptMode="Release">
</asp:ScriptManager>
