I'm trying to add AJAX to the following page.

http://www.skorbordz.com/Motocross/tabid/459/CategoryID/67/List/1/SortField/1/Level/a/ProductID/5/Default.aspx

The module is Catalook, which is very nice, but if you use advanced product options every product option change does a post back so I thought I could improve this with AJAX.

So, I watched a hello world AJAX Atlas tutorial, downloaded the new AJAX beta and developed my own little ajax page at www.freesis.net/test.aspx.  It works fine.

I then went to Catalook and I opened the ascx file productpage.ascx. I see that all it contains is a place holder so I add a script manager, updatepanel, and contentpanel. Then moved the panel the script was loading to into that.

<script language="javascript">

function Lookup(spage) {window.open(spage,'Lookup', 'scollbars=yes,menubar=no,height=500,width=565');}

</script>

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" EnablePartialRendering="true">

</asp:ScriptManager>

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">

<ContentTemplate>

<asp:placeholder id="SkinHolder" runat="server"></asp:placeholder>

</ContentTemplate>

</asp:UpdatePanel>

<asp:Label ID="lblAjax" width="400" Height="400" runat="server" Text="Label" Visible=false></asp:Label>

There's also a label I used to output some text when adding ajax triggers to the update panel so I could see that work.

Then I opened the code behind and dim the update panel and label as protected with evens so I could compile the dll. I also added the following MakeAJAX function that I call after the product options are loaded on page load. I had the label visible so I could see the triggers being added but it is now invisible.

here's makeajax

might be making some progress..

the trigger is added with this id value

dnn:ctr840:ProductPage:lstProductOptions:_ctl0:ddlOptions

the select statement looks like this

<select name="dnn:ctr840:ProductPage:lstProductOptions:_ctl0:ddlOptions" onchange=" setTimeout('__doPostBack(\'dnn$ctr840$ProductPage$lstProductOptions$_ctl0$ddlOptions\',\'\')', 0)" language="javascript" id="dnn_ctr840_ProductPage_lstProductOptions__ctl0_ddlOptions" class="CATNormalTextBox">

now the name is correct but the id is not correct and javascript usually reads the id and not the name.

I'll try using clientID instead of UniqueID

Ok, figured out my problem thanks to this post.

I had to change some xml setting from legacy to transitional.
