    <p>I am inheriting a sitecore implementation and I have been trying to debug a membership form. The membership page contains a membership sublayout that contains a simple form (first, last, address,...). When I am debugging on my local machine, I fill the form and click submit. The page posts back and as soon as the base layout is hit, the <code>Sitecore.Context.Item</code> is <code>NULL</code>. The interesting part is that if I PREVIEW the page within Sitecore, when I postback everything works fine, which makes me believe that it's just a matter of some internal settings in my web.config or some other configuration file.</p> <p>Here are the content of some variables on the first hit of the page and on the postback in both PREVIEW mode and regular mode:</p> <p>first hit (preview mode)</p> <pre><code>Sitecore.Context .Data.RawUrl = /?sc_itemid=%7b2A58FFA4-D16A-4EAB-8298-9398ACFDDEFB%7d&amp;sc_mode=preview&amp;sc_lang=en .Database = master .Item,Database = master .Item.Id = {2A58FFA4-D16A-4EAB-8298-9398ACFDDEFB} .Item.Name = Website_Membership .RawUrl = /?sc_itemid=%7b2A58FFA4-D16A-4EAB-8298-9398ACFDDEFB%7d&amp;sc_mode=preview&amp;sc_lang=en .Request.ItemPath = /sitecore/content/home/ </code></pre> <p>Postback (preview mode)</p> <pre><code>Sitecore.Context .Data.RawUrl = /Sites/CMS/Layouts/Membership Layout.aspx?sc_itemid=%7b2A58FFA4-D16A-4EAB-8298-9398ACFDDEFB%7d&amp;sc_mode=preview&amp;sc_lang=en .Database = master .Item,Database = master .Item.Id = {2A58FFA4-D16A-4EAB-8298-9398ACFDDEFB} .Item.Name = Website_Membership .RawUrl = /Sites/CMS/Layouts/Membership Layout.aspx?sc_itemid=%7b2A58FFA4-D16A-4EAB-8298-9398ACFDDEFB%7d&amp;sc_mode=preview&amp;sc_lang=en .Request.ItemPath = /sitecore/content/home/sites/cms/layouts/membership layout </code></pre> <p>first hit (regular mode)</p> <pre><code>Sitecore.Context .Data.RawUrl = /SomePath/Website_Membership.aspx .Database = web .Item,Database = web .Item.Id = {2A58FFA4-D16A-4EAB-8298-9398ACFDDEFB} .Item.Name = Website_Membership .RawUrl = /SomePath/Website_Membership.aspx .Request.ItemPath = /sitecore/content/home/somePath/website_membership </code></pre> <p>postback (regular mode)</p> <pre><code>Sitecore.Context .Data.RawUrl = /Sites/CMS/Layouts/Membership Layout.aspx .Database = web .Item = NULL .RawUrl = /Sites/CMS/Layouts/Membership Layout.aspx .Request.ItemPath = /sitecore/content/home/sites/cms/layouts/membership layout </code></pre> <p>Has anyone experienced something like this before and/or can you think of any reason for this to happen?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: On the sdn.sitecore forum Kevin Buckley:</p> <blockquote> <p>I'm thinking the control adapter 'form.browser' is missing. It should be in the app_browsers folder.</p> </blockquote> <p>I just want to add a note in regards. The files were missing from the app_browsers folder BUT I had added them manually few days ago by copying them from a clean sitecore installation. That didn't seem to help.</p>

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.
