[Solved] Ajax Manager and Javascript

[Ian]

Hello,

I am writting an application that uses javascript to call an Ajax_Request through the ajax manager.  We used to do this by using -

window[

"<%= RadAjaxManager1.ClientID %>"].ajaxRequest(srcElement);

the srcElement being the argument we are sending (usually a string).

Unfortunately with the upgrade to the q1 08 this is no longer working and just coming back with a javascript error saying that RadAjaxManager1 is null or not an object.

i have also tried -

var AjaxMan = Document.GetElementByID("<%= RadAjaxManager1.ClientID %>");
AjaxMan.ajaxRequest(srcElement);

Is there a new way to call the ajax request in javascript??

Hello Ian,

Yes, the new RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX are entirely based on the ASP.NET AJAX and use the newly exposed client-side API of the framework. Getting the client-side object of a control now requires you to use the $find() method. More info is available in our help documentation here.

That didn't seem to work, my code now contains -

var

ajaxmanager = $find("<%= RadAjaxManager1.ClientID %>");
ajaxmanager.ajaxRequest(srcElement);

it is now saying -

'null' is null or not an object.
