Issues with ASP.Net Atlas UpdatePanels and Safari

October 5, 2006

We are in the process of trying to incorporate some Atlas/AJAX into our site. What we added works correctly in IE6 and FF1.5 on Windows and also works correctly in Camino and FF (not sure of the version numbers) on Mac. However, it is not working correctly with Safari. Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of information on what the problem is since I don’t have reliable access to a Mac to dig into it.

While I don’t have specific error messages, we do have a test environment that you can check out. Please note that this test site is being served up through a DSL connection (small upload pipe) and might be a little slow (especially with all the extra overhead AJAX script, etc.). To reproduce the issue, do the following:

Log into our site with our test account by clicking here

  • Once you are in the site, click on the Calendar tab at the top
  • Once in the Calendar, make sure that you are viewing either the Day, Week or Month view (top-right below the main tabs)
  • On the left-hand side, there is a module called Mini Calendar that allows you to navigate through the calendar.
  • If you are on Day or Week view, click the links at the top of the Mini Calendar to navigate to the previous or next item (On Day or Week view, it will navigate by month. On Month view, it will navigate by year)
  • If you are using IE or FF, when you click the next or previous link, the content of the Mini Calendar should update with the previous or next view of the requested information (there is also a small ‘Loading’ graphic that appears in the top-right of the screen). In Safari, nothing happens and apparently there is a JavaScript error thrown.

I posted this to the ASP.Net forums but it isn’t getting much activity so I wanted to throw it out as a post to see if it pops up on anyone’s radar. Any help in getting to the bottom of this is appreciated.

    It worked fine for me in Safari 2.0.4.

    Hi Dave! Thanks for taking the time to check out the site. Unfortunately, the Atlas functionality was not on the site when you tested (assuming you tested on 10/12). We had to push out a release last weekend (10/7) and since we didn’t want to roll out the Atlas code yet, it was removed. I still would like to know what is going on so I will try to push it back to the Test site soon. Until then, assume that the Atlas code is not there until I update this post. Thanks again!

    […] Scott Guthrie just announced the release of ASP.NET AJAX Beta 1. This is excellent news for us. We had recently tried to implement the Atlas June CTP but were running into some issues with Safari. Hopefully those issues will be resolved. From Scott: Previous ASP.NET AJAX CTPs didn’t have great support for Safari (UpdatePanel didn’t work at all). With this Beta we have added Safari as a fully tested and supported browser. […]

Got something to say?
