work with webpart zone

hi...

Is it necessary to install "aspajaxctp msi" to work with webpart zone.(I have installedASPAJAXExtSetup.msi)

The webpart zone should move in mozilla firefox also. Normally webpart zone is not moving in firefox.

how can i achieve my goal.

Thanks.

No u dont need the aspajaxextsetup.msi for webpartzone to work.I remember that i have read somewhere that webpart move will only work on some higher end browers..you can provide user with lower end, the option of catalog part to move around the webparts.

hello.

well, the drag-n-drop behavior you see in IE will not work by default in firefox. To get it working, you need to replace the default webpartmanager and webpartzone with the ones defined in the microsoft.web.extensions.dll. Do notice that the only aim of these new controls is to let you have drag-n-drop in firefox. after finishing the operation, you'll stillget a full postback. the good news is that on the next version of the platform (3.5) you'll also get partial postbacks for that kind of operations if you put everything inside the same UpdatePanel.

Hi

Thank you very much for your valuable reply.

can u tell me that how can i replace default webpartmanager and webpartzone with the ones defined in the microsoft.web.extensions.dll.

Can u specify, how can i achieve my goal.

It is not necessary to avoid postbacking. My primary aim is to move my webpart zone in Mozilla firefox also.

Is there any way to do this ? I am not in great need of using ajax feature.But i need to move my webpart zone in firefox.

Waiting for your reply

Thanks

add something like this at the top:

<%@. Register Namespace="Microsoft.Web.Preview.UI.Controls.WebParts" TagPrefix="fr" Assembly="Microsoft.Web.Preview" %>

and then replace the <asp:WebPartManager and <asp:WebPartZone with the <fr:WebPartManager and <fr:WebPartZone

Hi..

Thank you for your reply sir.

i have tried.But i got this error message

"Error 36 Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Web.Preview' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

I think it is the problem of ajax version i m using now?.....am i right sir ...?

If so which version i have to use??

Otherwise, can u clear this error?

I am still away from my goal...

waiting for your reply ...

Thanks

oopss...forgot to mention that you need to install the future bits and then you should be able to find that dll (which you must add to the web app after installing it)

Thank you very much ......
