Calling a javascript-method causes IE 8 to crash
- by Andreas Niedermair
good morning!
some basic infos:
engine is asp.net (specific version is not relevant)
runs on iis (specific version is not relevant)
asp-button is hidden
why?! wtf?!:
this example is used in some modal-confirmation: user clicks delete, ui shows modal-dialog. so, the visible button would be the yes-button, when clicked one, would cause a postback of the original asp-button (as i'm using the jquery-dialog plugin).
and i have this html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
// head tags go here
</head>
<body>
<div style="display: none;">
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="hiddenBt" />
</div>
<button id="visibleBt">Yes</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var visibleButton = $('#visibleBt');
var hiddenButton = $('#<%= this.hiddenBt.ClientID %>');
visibleButton.click(function() {
__doPostBack(hiddenButton.attr('name');
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
so ... if i'm running IE8 and non-compatiblity view, hitting the yes-button will crash the ie8-rendering-engine
