Hey all,
We've been creating a Custom Footer Menu and we're running into issues in IE. Although Firefox handles this exception we get an general error message upon searching in IE. Anyone else have this problem or have any ideas on how to Debug? We know its Footer related because upon reinsertion of the defualt footer.aspx it works again proper in IE. We're having our coding checked we built the footer twice though once in strict HTML and second in ASP both give the same IE error.
thanks

Sure thing.. Here it is. On the same note we have added just a simple picture to footer and we get the same effect. I don't think it is my html but I could be wrong.



Thanks, Jason

Pace,


Don't embed a <form> in your footer control. ASP.NET only allows one form on the page and all BV pages already have one (actually yours would wind up inside of the page form, which can be even worse).



You can have form fields in the footer and you can add code to footer.ascx.vb to handle any buttons, etc. that can be clicked...just don't use the <form></form> tags.

This is script from our menu bar we had to remove to get it to work.

Thanks for the help Andy we rewrote it without the form and it works perfectly now. We didn't think it would affect it since it wasn't on the same page. We are learning and thanks for being patient.
