"Invalid Argument" in IE, but not in FF.

Reply Quote

Hi,

I'm working on integrating AJAXUploader into my application. So far, everything works fine in FireFox. However, when I load my site up in IE, I get the following JavaScript error:

Line: 2

Char: 12118

Error: Invalid argument.

Code: 0

I checked out the JS for AJAXUploader and that char location is :

document[OxO543d[0x6b]].insertBefore(Ox25,Oxb.form) ;

I'm running on Windows XP w/ IIS 5.1. The sample, simple-upload.aspx works fine in IE & FF, so I'm sure it's some other JS include in my app. However, I've commented out all of my other JS for that page and I still get the error. Anyone have an idea?

Thanks,

Griffin

Griffin,

Can you try the following code and get back to me?

<%@ Page language="c#"%>
<%@ Register Namespace="CuteWebUI" Assembly="CuteWebUI.AjaxUploader" TagPrefix="CuteWebUI" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<CuteWebUI:Uploader runat="server" ID="Uploader1">
</CuteWebUI:Uploader>
</form>
</body>

Adam,

That code works fine in IE & FF. The sample-upload.aspx also works fine too. I think the problem has something to do with some other part of my app, but I'm not sure how to debug it because the js code seems obscufated. I've tried commenting out all of my other JS includes, but it still happens.

Any ideas?

Griffin

Adam,

Tried the new dlls. Still bombs out:

Line: 2

Char: 12771

Error: Invalid Argument

Code: 0

This is the line in the AJAXUploader js that bombs:

document[OxO3875[0x6d]].insertBefore(Ox25,Oxb.form) ;

Adam,

Actually I just thought of something. Would having the AJAXUploader control inside of a MasterPage <asp:Content> tag break anything? I know ASP.NET renames controls when they're inside MasterPages.

Our online examples use master page as well.

Please download this dll again:

I'm getting this same error.

I've tried downloading the new dll but it still gives me the js error in IE: Line 2, Char: 12235, Error: Invalid Argument.

My uploader is inside a Master Page, Ajax Update Panel and Wizard control.

Works fine in FF but get this js error in IE.

We were looking at this and also get the error in IE. We're running in a master page with our update panel hosted inside the Content. We also tried downloading the new dll with no success. Any updates?

phillybob,

In download package, we have many examples which use the Master page, update panel.

                     <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
                            <ContentTemplate>
                                <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
                                </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
                            </ContentTemplate>
                        </asp:UpdatePanel>

Do those examples work for you?

If yes, can you create a simple example showing the problem and send it to me?

Thanks - the samples work locally just fine.

I'll try to get a repro - it may take a while. The app we're integrating into is pretty large and trying to isolate

a repro might take some time.

As a note, the only significant difference I can come up with between the sample and our app

is that the sample update panel wraps the content placeholder, while our update panel and

upload control exist within the content tag for one of the place holders in our layout.

thanks,

phil

I think you're on to something there as I've just managed to "break" the sample "Framework 2.0-Csharp-MicrosoftAjax/multiple-files-upload.aspx"

If you move the server Form, Script Manager and Update Panel tags from the Master page and place them directly into the content of page multiple-files-upload.aspx, you get the error message that we are all experiencing.

cullenrc,

I did it but it still work for me.

Can you just send us a sample project showing this issue?

[email protected] or [email protected]

Thanks.

cullenrc,

We checked your project.

Solution:

1. remove the “<form></form>” tag of “multiple-files-upload.aspx”

2. in the “MicrosoftAjax.master” add a “<form></form>” tag

That "solution" may work for your basic sample projects but it still does not work for our real life project.

In any case I don't think this would be a viable solution - what if people don't want a server form to be included on every single content page in their system?

The real question is why does it work perfectly in Firefox but error in IE?

I think I may have isolated what is causing the error.

If you wrap the server form tag in a <div> it causes the error. For example this simple page caues the error:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<title>Untitled Page</title>

</head>

<body>

<div>

<CuteWebUI:UploadAttachments InsertText="Upload Multiple files Now" runat="server" ID="Attachments1" />

</form>

</div>

</body>

</html>

Hi,

That's it!

Our code is:

document.body.insertBefore(newnode,form)

but the form is not the direct child of the body.

That would throw the error.

thanks.
