Problem with autopostback on webcontrols

[Sean Chapman]

I've got a simple page I've made with a few controls (Treeview,
Dropdownlist, ..). I'm running into an issue with autopostback. If I
set it to AutoPostBack = "True", when the event should fire I get a
Javascript error in IE.

If I don't set it, and let a button click do the postback, the event
fires normally.

*note: using visual studio 2005 + dotnet 2.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

IE Error:
Line: 34

Sean,
I would suggest looking at the following article as it has helped me a
great deal. I don't know if this applies to ASP.Net 2.0 because I
haven't tried it ***yet***, but it works well in the earlier
version(s).

Granted, it's hard to tell what is going wrong without seeing a view
source on the page, but it seems likely that one or more of the
"OnSelectedIndexChanged" or "On...Node" could be funky. And you've
probably already done this, but just in case you haven't, do a view
source on the page and check out what's in the neighborhood of "line
34."
HTH, and good luck.
