xhtmlConformance and Dissappearing Script Blocks

Hello all,

When running an ASP.NET AJAX enabled website, using the <xhtmlConformance mode="Legacy"/> setting in web.config, the following script block is missing from the html source...

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var theForm = document.forms['_Form'];
if (!theForm) {
theForm = document._Form;
}
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
if (!theForm.onsubmit || (theForm.onsubmit() != false)) {
theForm.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget;
theForm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theForm.submit();
}
}
// -->
</script>

<script src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=ws/AjaxUploadService.asmx/jsdebug" type="text/javascript"></script>

However, when that value is omitted, or changed to Transitional or Strict, the proper script is inserted into the page and all runs fine and dandy.

Pretty nasty bug there fellas!

"text/javascript">'_Form'];if (!theForm) { theForm = document._Form;}function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {if (!theForm.onsubmit || (theForm.onsubmit() !=false)) { theForm.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget; theForm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument; theForm.submit(); }}// -->

andrew_,

Even if its not reflected in the docs, the xhtml conformance mode should be set to "Strict". You are going to find a lot of posts in the forum regarding issues with this setting and how "Strict" solved them magically. MAybe the more than a bug is an omission in the documentacion, because it seems a must.

Cheers,

Juan
