After building a purchasing site for our company in DNN, we upgraded it to 4.09.00 last week.  Now when working inside the VS 2008 IDE, we are getting the following JavaScript Error (See bitmap below...)

Very annoying and we have not been able to isolate where the problem comes from. I can reload the Install version, replace the connection string and the machine keys in the config file, and it works for several compiles, but then occurs again.

Has anyone else reported this problem?

Would like to figure out what is causing it so either we can fix it or it can be fixed and distributed.

Thanks...

Error Message:

}

You wouldn't happen to be using the location tag around your System.Web in the web.config file? I was playing with using this (to enable a virtual directory to work), but I noticed that using something like:

<location path=".">
      <system.webServer>
            <defaultDocument enabled="false" />
      </system.webServer>
</location>

caused the search function to bring up a javascript error on line 45, the initSearch() method. I believe that this tag must cause a search class to stop working. I also noticed that the icons within the search box disappeared when the location tag was present.

Hope this helps!!

I dragged a Silverlight asp.net control on to a page in my site in Visual Studio and then I was unable to go to Host settings and I got the JavaScript error on every page.

I made the changes to my web.config described here:

And the problem went away.
