I'm pretty confident this is a bug in ASP.NET which affects pages or user controls that use the IE Web Controls.

A number of pages that were written some time ago have been displaying some worryingly strange behaviour in the past few days. Pages that contained the tabstrip/multipage controls would completely crash IE the error being tracked to MSHTML.dll. This would happen on a range of browsers and OSs (almost all combinations of IE5.5/IE6/W98/W2k/XP ). Another symptom was that any javascript in the page seemed to be disabled after a postback.

I have been trying to track down the problem for about 5 days now and came against a total brick wall with this.

I have just however this afternoon tried something I though was totally unrelated and that is to turn off the smartNavigation property in web.config. Wonder of wonders problem solved. What a relieved man I am!

I'd love to know the exact cause of this problem and to know whether it is a known bug or whether any other members of the list have had similar problems.

So be warned about using this combination of objects.

Cheers

Michael

All I can say is that when I first heard of smart navigation, everyone in
the room took a sharp intake of breath and said that it was “unreliable” and
no matter how tempting it was we shouldn’t use it. There were some *very*
well known developers there, so I promptly forgot about using it. My NDA
forbids me to say more…;-)
