Hi,

I have an ASPX page like this:

    
            <head runat="server">  
        
                <title></title>  
        
                    <script type="text/javascript">  
        
                function Test() {  
        
                    PageMethods.TestIT();  
        
                    alert("done");  
        
                }  
        
            </script> 
        
            </head> 
        
            <body> 
        
                <form id="form1" runat="server">  
        
                <div> 
        
                    <telerik:RadScriptManager runat="server" EnablePageMethods="True">  
        
                </telerik:RadScriptManager> 
        
            <button onclick="Test(); return false;">tet</button><br />      
        
                </div> 
        
                </form> 
        
            </body> 
        
            </html>

This runs fine.

Now I tried to achive the same thing in a masterpage like this;

    
            <head runat="server">  
        
                <title></title>  
        
                <script type="text/javascript">  
        
                function Test() {  
        
                    PageMethods.TestIT();  
        
                    alert("done");  
        
                }  
        
            </script> 
        
                <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="head" runat="server">  
        
                </asp:ContentPlaceHolder> 
        
            </head> 
        
            <body> 
        
                <form id="form1" runat="server">  
        
                    <telerik:RadScriptManager runat="server" EnablePageMethods="True">  
        
                </telerik:RadScriptManager> 
        
                <div> 
        
                <button onclick="Test(); return false;">tet</button><br /> 
        
                    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">  
        
                    </asp:ContentPlaceHolder> 
        
                </div> 
        
                </form>

This results in "Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'PageMethods' is undefined"

What do I have to change to enable the things in a masterpage?

I guess not (I'm not 100% sure).
And the post is (to be clear) not a kind of "you bad telerik guys made" or something like this :)

It is (regardless of the reason for the problem and not asking who is guilty) just a question if someone knows if there is a way to get PageMethods out of a master pages code behind.

I know you (the telerik guys who make those things) have much more experience with these ajax things than I.
And so my hope was (is) that someone knows the problem - or even has a workaround.
Or that
Anyone can tell me: sorry no chance to get PageMethods from a method in a masterpage.

It is not a stopping issue (I made this working by using a common base class for my content pages which holds the webmethod).
So if someone has an idea - it would be great to learn it - if not don't worry.
