    <p>I'm trying to do something that sounds fairly simple using ASP.NET 3.5. A user should be able to add a "Community" to the database, and upon checking a box, pick a Parent Community from a DropDown menu that shows only if the check box is checked. For this I used a Panel (initially set to Visible=false) inside an UpdatePanel. My problem is that while it works in IE8 and Chrome (although Chrome reloads the whole page instead of just the div), in Firefox nothing happens. No query is sent <em>at all</em>. I should mention that all the code below is in a User Control page, not just a Web Form.</p> <pre><code>&lt;%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="CommunityEditing.ascx.cs" Inherits="Folke.Code.Element.CommunityEditing" %&gt; &lt;asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" /&gt; &lt;div class="content"&gt; &lt;asp:Label id="editingFeedback" runat="server" /&gt; &lt;dl&gt; &lt;dt&gt;&lt;%=Folke.Code.Texte.L("Name") %&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;asp:TextBox ID="name" runat="server" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="nameReq" runat="server" ControlToValidate="name" ErrorMessage="Community name is required!" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/dd&gt; &lt;/dl&gt; &lt;asp:CheckBox ID="cbToggle" runat="server" OnCheckedChanged="TogglePanel" Text="Has a parent community" AutoPostBack="True" /&gt; &lt;asp:UpdatePanel ID="parentCommunityUpdatePanel" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional"&gt; &lt;ContentTemplate&gt; &lt;asp:Panel id="parentCommunityPanel" runat="server" Visible="false"&gt; &lt;asp:DropDownList ID="communityListDropDownList" runat="server"/&gt; &lt;/asp:Panel&gt; &lt;/ContentTemplate&gt; &lt;Triggers&gt; &lt;asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="cbToggle" /&gt; &lt;/Triggers&gt; &lt;/asp:UpdatePanel&gt; &lt;asp:Button runat="server" Text="Add" ID="send" onclick="send_Click" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>The code-behind code is as simple as it gets:</p> <pre><code>protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (!IsPostBack) { // Populate drop down menu var session = HibernateModule.CurrentSession; var communityList = from community in session.Linq&lt;Community&gt;() select community; communityListDropDownList.DataValueField = "id"; communityListDropDownList.DataTextField = "name"; communityListDropDownList.DataSource = communityList; communityListDropDownList.DataBind(); } Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); } protected void TogglePanel(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (cbToggle.Checked) { parentCommunityPanel.Visible = true; } else { parentCommunityPanel.Visible = false; } } </code></pre> <p>Since this works fine in IE8, I tried to put a very similar code (pretty much identical) in a Web Form, and it works just fine in Firefox. Since the code above is embedded in a MasterPage, then in a Web Form, then a User Control, could all that "stacking" cause issues? I spent hours on this and I just can't find any lead or explanation that make sense.</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>Upon checking the Error Console of Firefox, the browser reports this:</p> <p>Error: theForm is undefined Source File: <a href="http://localhost:54003/EditCommunity.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost:54003/EditCommunity.aspx</a> Line: 25</p> <p>Line 25 is the first if statement of this script:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; //&lt;![CDATA[ var theForm = document.forms['aspnetForm']; if (!theForm) { theForm = document.aspnetForm; } function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) { if (!theForm.onsubmit || (theForm.onsubmit() != false)) { theForm.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget; theForm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument; theForm.submit(); } } //]]&gt; &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre>

    3. COSorry can't give you a proper answer but view source on the page and check that you have something like <form id="aspnetForm"> in there. If document.forms['aspnetForm'] is returning 'undefined' there could be something wrong in the markup.

Querying!

 
Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
