Hi all,
I am using the treeview control and have decided to turn off both viewstate and autopostback, using the treeview mostly for display. I handle the expanding and selection of nodes programmatically without viestate history.
The reason was simply that a) viewstate grew to enourmous size and slowed user experience and b) we were getting some random errors (javascript object errors). This was mainly in IE and previously it worked reasonably well in Netscape .
Long story short..... for IE I can control my navigation url and I get a "normal" link for each node. But - in Netscape it seems to want to do postback - which I don't want. I just want it to open a specific link. Is there anyway to disable or override this for lowlevel browsers?
Essentially, I reload and format my tree, by setting the url for each node to hit the frame with the treeview. I simply add relevant page id and index to this url (treepage.aspx?pid=x&index=y), generate the tree based on this, and then do a frame-redirect to correct page (based on the pageid).
I want to do the same in Netscape, but getting all sort of hazzle because of treeview wanting to do postback stuff for Netscape .... please help...........
I really really really find it odd that even though I specifically set autopostback=false, the control insists to do this for low level browsers...... baffled and confused!!
(any help, VB or C# appreciated)
