I have a default DNN installation and I'm working on my first module so there is nothing fancy getting in the way (Javascript, validators, etc).

I have a module that has a control that renders a datalist and that datalist has linkbuttons that use the OnCommand handler.  When I click on a link it should call my handler which does a NavigateURL to another control.

When I go to the module, the datalist always renders correctly but when I click on a link button the event isn't fired.  In fact the Page_Load isn't even called at all.  The strange part is that if I wait 60 seconds and then click on a link then it will call Page_Load and my event handler and it will go to the page I want it to.

I read a lot of posts and tried setting causesValidation="false" but that didn't help.  There has been a lot of talk about enablePostBack as well but that doesn't appear to be a problem because 1) It does display the datalist and linkButtons correctly and 2) if I wait long enough it will work.

To be clear, this is not a case where you click on it and then wait 60 seconds for the response, rather a click won't have the desired effect unless you have been at the page for 60 seconds.  Man, I feel crazy just posting this but I swear that is what is happening :)

Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks William!  That was the problem.

So with the caching on, all postbacks won't work?  Seems like the caching would hardly ever be a benifit in this case then.  I'm sure I'm missing something here.  When would the output caching be useful?  Maybe if my module was coded a certain way it would lend itself to caching?  Is there a resource you could point me to?

Thanks again!
