I wrote a .Net 2.0 application for a client and everything works great in IE, but saving does not work in Firefox. Specifically, I have some popup boxes that I use jQuery to popup and hold information that I will save when the user clicks to save their form.
When the user saves the form in Firefox, I do not see any errors, it just does not save, so I'm not sure where to start looking. Can someone give me some pointers on how to troubleshoot an application that saves correctly in IE but not Firefox? Would there
be an error that I am somehow not seeing that only Firefox complains about?
You need to use some debugging tools to try to identify what the issue is. Set some breakpoints in the server-side code to see if they are hit, but you can also use Firebug in Firefox to examine HTTP requests and responses to see if they are being made successfully.
Also, you should try your application in other browsers to establish whether Firefox is the problem, or if in fact the probelm is with IE, in that it allows something that all other browsers don't.
