SmartNav and win 2003

[Adrian Parker]

Framework v1.1

Can anyone tell me why SmartNav sometimes doesn't work when running under
IIS 6 on win2003? When I say doesn't work, I mean when you do a
response.redirect from a page that has smartnav enabled, it doesn't go
anywhere, just displays a white screen with nothing on it. In the source
view of the page it just has some smartnav tags around the url it's trying
to go to, but it just doesn't do anything.

Is this a known problem ?

TIA
Adrian

Yes, SmartNav has a number of problems when it comes to Redirects,
JavaScript, and DOM manipulation. My recommendation is to avoid
SmartNavigation - not just because of the problems but also because
it's deprecated in 2.0. You can find some solutions on the web to use
as a replacement. There are scripts to maintain scroll position
between postbacks, for instance, and AJAX frameworks can even get rid
of the postbacks that SmartNav was trying to coverup.
