That fix is included in the latest release of the Toolkit, 10301. Please try with that release.

Regarding why your particular script may not being updated, perhaps something went wrong when you rebuilt AjaxControlToolkit.dll or perhaps you didn't copy the new DLL to your project?

I'm trying to apply the fix you recommended. However, when I make the fixes nothing happens. On further investigation, I'm browsing to the file directly - http://[server]/ScriptResource.axd?d=[long string] and I keep getting the same text, so the server is not sending the updated content. Any ideas?

After peer review, I'm updating the IE6 SSL insecure content warning fix to be even simpler. Where PopupBehavior previously assigned its IFRAME.src the value "javascript:document.open();document.write('<html></html>');document.close();" in order to display a blank page, it now uses simply "javascript:'<html></html>';".

FYI: I've checked in a fix for this work item as change 15319 to the Development branch for inclusion with the next Toolkit release. Change comments:

"Avoid IE6 insecure content warning when accessing PopupBehavior-using controls (ex: DropDown, HoverMenu, PopupControl, ValidatorCallout) over an HTTPS connection. Instead of pointing the created IFRAME's src property at "about:blank", set it to "javascript:document.open();document.write('<html></html>');document.close();" instead. This has the same effect (of opening an empty page) and avoids the need for a round-trip to the server to fetch a blank page from the Toolkit's resource section."

You should be able to make the same change to your source code in order to try this out early. Please let us know if you encounter any problems with it!

This sounds like work item 6444 which we hope to fix in the next release.

I am experiencing this problem as well!!! It only happens in IE6 and does not happen in IE7. In my case the script manager is in a master page and the security information dialog seems to only come up on my pages that use an alwaysvisiblecontrol or an animation control. What is the plan for fixing this as it seems to have been around for a long time and is obviously VERY annoying to anyone using an application that constantly pops up the security information dialog box.

We have removed AjaxControlToolkit completely and we are having the same problem. Local works perfectly, but when we publish to SSL server, we get prompted for the Secure/Unsecure dialog. If we select No, the application works, but we do not see the UpdateProgress control. If we select Yes, iexplore.exe crashes with an unhandled exception.

I have removed the AjaxControlToolkit from my test project yet the problem persists. So I'm pretty sure it's not the "about:blank" sections in the PopupBehavior.js file that could be causing the problem.

Check the PopupBehavior.js in ajaxcontroltoolkit source and change the "about:blank" to "javascript:'' for the childFrame.src

Yeah, that worked on the pre-Beta version of me, too.

But now I'm using Beta-2, which no longer has Atlas.js nor AtlasRuntime.js. I have searched through the six JS files (MicrosoftAjax.js, MicrosoftAjaxTimer.js, MicrosoftAjaxWebForms.js, PreviewDragDrop.js, PreviewGlitz.js, PreviewScript.js) installed as part of the ScriptLibrary (C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\v1.0.61025\ScriptLibrary\Debug) and found two "about:blank" lines in PreviewScript.js.

I have tried making a copy of the PreviewScript file, adding it to my project, modifying it to replace "about:blank" with "javascript:" and adding a ScriptReference to the new file like so:

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
<Scripts>
<asp:ScriptReference Path="~/ScriptLibrary/Debug/PreviewScript.js" />
</Scripts>
</asp:ScriptManager>

But this opens up another can of worms that I cannot figure out yet. When I try the solutions from this thread ( http://forums.asp.net/thread/1465851.aspx ) I get "too much recursion" javascript errors in Firefox. In IE I get an "Out of memory" error and the debugger takes me to about line 3680 of my PreviewScript file at this method:

Sys.Net._WebRequestManager.prototype.executeRequest = function Sys$Net$_WebRequestManager$executeRequest(webRequest) {
    var defaultExecutorType = this.get_defaultExecutorType();
    if (! this.get_forceDefaultExecutor()) {
        if (Sys.Net._WebRequestManager.isCrossDomainRequest(webRequest)) {
            this.set_defaultExecutorType("Sys.Preview.Net.IFrameExecutor");
        }
    }
    this._executeRequest(webRequest);
    this.set_defaultExecutorType(defaultExecutorType);
}

Using an unmodified PreviewScript.js but still included as a ScriptReference give me this error:

Line: 3119
Error: Sys.ScriptLoadFailedException: The script 'ScriptLibrary/Debug/PreviewScript.js' could not be loaded or does not contain the Sys.Application.notifyScriptLoaded() callback.

And that's where I am now: Trying to figure out how to successfully include a script reference to override the ASP.NET AJAX PreviewScript.js file.

Suggestions anyone?

In Atlas.js & AtlasRuntime.js just replace about:blank with javascript:'', this works for me.

I have a little follow-up information. In my particular case, the "non-secure items" popup only presents in IE6; IE7 and Firefox do not display the error. I have not yet been able to determine whether any specific security- or privacy-related settings (especially in IE6) have any effect.

I have a sample that displays the "non-secure items" warning behavior.

The page is from an AJAXEnabledWebSite Beta-2 template project. I added references to AjaxControlToolkit and Microsoft.Web.Preview assemblies. In the web.config file I added "tagPrefix" entries for the the Toolkit and the Preview assemblies. (I think the Toolkit stuff is not necessary but since I included it in my sample project, I included the info here.)

Here is the self-contained page:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>AutoCompleteExtender over https</title>
    <script runat="server">
  [System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
  public static string[] GetFirstNameSuggestions(string prefixText, int count)
  {
   string[] firstNames = { "Andrea", "Angela", "Ann", "Anne", "Annie"};

   int index = Array.BinarySearch(firstNames, prefixText, new CaseInsensitiveComparer());
   if (index < 0)
   {
    index = ~index;
   }

   int matchingCount;
   for (matchingCount = 0; matchingCount < count && index + matchingCount < firstNames.Length; matchingCount++)
   {
    if (!firstNames[index + matchingCount].StartsWith(prefixText,
      StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
    {
     break;
    }
   }

   String[] returnValue = new string[matchingCount];
   if (matchingCount > 0)
   {
    Array.Copy(firstNames, index, returnValue, 0,
      matchingCount);
   }
   return returnValue;
  }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
        <div>
        <asp:textbox id="tbFirstName" runat="server" width="200"></asp:textbox>
  <asp:AutoCompleteExtender runat="server" ID="autoComplete1"
   TargetControlID="tbFirstName"
   ServicePath="AutoCompleteExtenderTest.aspx"
   ServiceMethod="GetFirstNameSuggestions"
   minimumprefixlength="1" />
        </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Here are the web.config entries I added:

<add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="Microsoft.Web.Preview.UI" assembly="Microsoft.Web.Preview"/>
<add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="Microsoft.Web.Preview.UI.Controls" assembly="Microsoft.Web.Preview"/>

<add tagPrefix="atk" assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit"/>

As I note above, a simple, self-contained sample would help us investigate the problem.

Now using AjaxControlToolkit and have this issue with the Hovermenu and validatorCallouts. It seems that this has been an issue for months. The solutions here have not worked in my case. I will continue to work on a solution... but it would be nice if I didn't have to.

I'd welcome any new solution people have found. Thanks
