    I have a page with several buttons that call javascript functions that call a web service through the AJAX controls.  In IE, it works perfectly.  In Firefox or Opera however, the call happens and works, but a second later, the whole screen refeshes, and all the data that was on the page is gone.  Any ideas?

    Show some code, please.  My first guess (sans code) is that you're using <button> tags without the type="button" attribute.  If that's true then add that attribute.  FF and Opera default unmarked <button>'s as type="submit" which forces a postback.

    That was it!  I knew you had to set type on input fields, I didn't realize the button had a type as well...  Thanks!
