Question

I am using asp.net ajax version 1.0 on asp.net 2.0. (I cannot yet upgrade to 3.5)

I had a PageMethod that would get called by Javascript. This worked perfectly until I added an UpdatePanel to another part of the page. Now when I run the page with debug turned on The breakpoint in the pagemethod never gets called. when I look in firebug at what gets returned when the post to the PageMethod is called, I notice that the entire aspx page is returned instead of just the calls value. What have I done?

Here is the Javascript call to the PageMethod:

function EndRequestHandler(sender, args) {     $('#selectedCHK').change(         function() {             var chkedInput = $('#selectedCHK');             var networkRead = chkedInput[0].checked;             PageMethods.ChangeSelectedNetworkReadFlag(routeNum,                                                        networkRead,                                                        function(msg) { alert(msg);  });         }     ); } $(document).ready(function() {     Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(EndRequestHandler); } 

The point of having the EndRequestHandler function called at the end of each request is that the item with the id ‘#selectedCHK’ is inside the update panel and the event needs to get set every time the UpdatePanel is refreshed.

I figured this out and it was a configuration problem. Specifically I needed to add:

<httpModules>     <add name='ScriptModule' type='System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'/> </httpModules> 

inside the <system.web> section.

I thought that I had configured the site properly but I decided to go through the documentation step by step.
