TreeView with Ajax EnableHistory="True" doesn't work in IE

[dlamprey]

IE cannot resolve the URL for a server side callback when collapsing a node if the URL contains a hash symbol (#).

Since the page ScriptManager tracks history points by appending a hash code to the page URL, the treeview will fail to load when using ajax history (back button support). I have the same issue as well with RadScriptManager.

Works correctly in Firefox. Using release 2009.3.1314.35.

Hello dlamprey,

SInce this is IE problem I can only provide you with a workaround.

You basically need to change the value of the form's action, just before and after request for nodes (nodeExpand).
Here is the markup of the tree:

<telerik:RadTreeView runat="server" ID="Tree1" OnClientNodeExpanding="nodeExpanding" OnClientNodeExpanded="nodeExpanded">
</telerik:RadTreeView>

And here is the JavaScript doing the whole work:

var initialFormAction=document.form1.action;
var currentFormAction=initialFormAction;

function nodeExpanding(sender,args)
{
    currentFormAction=document.form1.action;
    document.form1.action=initialFormAction;
}

function nodeExpanded(sender,args)
{
    document.form1.action=currentFormAction;
}

This way you are changing the action of the form for the period of time that it's used by the expand by server-side callback request only.

Hope this is going to help you!
