VB.NET - Javascript DoPostBack

We have upgraded a very old application to Framework 4.0 using VS2010.  We have a problem with link buttons.  On some machines hovering over the link yields a task bar message that reads:

javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("cmdAppQuote", "", true, "", "", false, true))

and everything works fine BUT on some machines the task bar message reads:

javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions(  << It gets cutoff.  

I have swapped out the pages from a machine where it works to one where it doesn't work but the javascript still gets cutoff.

Clicking the link gives an ambiguous syntax error like char 1 line 59.

Does any one know why this is happening?

Thanks.

PS - I looked at the page source and the entire line is there.  strange.

Hi,
I strongly believe that the problem is with the Rendering problem.
The problem might be with escaping of Double quotes(") or Single Quotes(') chars

So what I can give a solution like,

Remove the OnClick event (event wire).



And we will give the event or javascript directly from code.

from PageLoad or somewhere,


also try this too.





please mark helpful if it seems to be that

Here is what fixed the problem:

web.config

<pages controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID" autoEventWireup="true" enableSessionState="true" enableViewState="true" enableViewStateMac="true" smartNavigation="true" validateRequest="false" />

The reason the javascript was getting cutoff is because the string representing the js started with a double quote and when we got to the first argument it was encapsulated in a double quote.  This terminated the string.

I don't know the mechanics of why this fixed the problem but then again I don't know many things that happen behind the scenes with computers.  If I know something works I do it with out needing to know exactly why.  Parts is parts!

Great !! ..

Ya... that was the problem... I have not done a research on how to stop that... :)
Hope my reply helps u some...

Instead of doing changes to all pages, 

<pages controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID" autoEventWireup="true" enableSessionState="true" enableViewState="true" enableViewStateMac="true" smartNavigation="true" validateRequest="false" /> 

I would rather choose to turn off validation on the link buttons alone.
<asp:Linkbutton ....."CausesValidation=False" />

And also, replace any double quotes inside the attributes of the linkbutton, or simply escape them. 

Hope this helps.
