Than after drag and drop I update the xml with the new positions and I want to post it back via XMLHttpRequest to the server to update the same file.</p> <p>The responseText message states that HTTP Error 405.0 - Method Not Allowed. The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) is being used.</p> <p>I checked the applicationhost.config file and looks like every handler is configured with POST method. Also turned on all the features of IIS on Win 7 components.</p> <p>My pc: Win7 home basic, visual studio professional, iis 7.5 express.</p> <p>p.e.: I don't use webrequest method since mainly using javascript for the update process, because of the drag and drop functionality of the mootools library.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you in advance!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> 2012-01-25T00:38:09-05:00
