a very weird problem (AGAIN!!!)

Hi guys,
First of all I want to apologize for posting this thread again, but I do really need help with this.
I couldn't solve the problem yet and I don't understand why this could be happening, so PLEASE if anyone of you have an idea about why is this happening I would apreciate your help very much.
The authentication I'm using in my website is WINDOWS.
The error I'm getting is :

Hi everybody,
I'm having this problem again but in another application.
The application was build with ASP.NET and VB.NET, the problem is, when I press the LogOut button, I'm getting an error in the Bottom left corner of Interner Explorer and the error is :

Line: 80
Char: 13
Error: Invalid Pointer
Code: 0
URL: "the url of my website"

The code under the LogOut button is:

Response.Write("<script>window.close();</script>");

The most weird problem is that this error occurs on some IE but on others it work correctly !!!
I've checked the version of my colleague's IE, and the version and the service packs that are installed and are the same !
The version is: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_grd.050301-1519CO
Cipher Strenght: 128-bit
Product ID: xxxxxxxx
Update Versions:; SP2;

I really don't understand what's going on !
Is it possible it's a problem on the IIS coniguration ?

Thank you all !

Michael do you have SmartNavigation turned on?Is so turn it off and try
That could be the problem
If thats the case let me know if no post some code
Patrick

Hello Patrick,
I turned off the SmartNavigation parameter as you suggested, but it's still not working.
I'm getting the same error message.

the code I have in my LogOff button is:

Response.Write("<script>window.close();</script>");

The weird thing is that I have other web projects on the same web server where this application is hosted and I'm not having problems with them at all, that's why I thought it could be a problem with the website or it's configuration.
I'm wondering if it could be a problem with:

WebUIValidation

folder or how it's configured (I mean permissions, etc)?

Thank you again

Seems some js is clashing
Michael may be try re-installing the aspnet_Client folder..

Go to the path below and run the last command
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis -c
This will install the aspnet_client folder to the default virtual directory website.

Hope that helps
Patrick

What i'm thinking of again is may be embed
your javascript in the registerStartupScript.
Do that and lets see how it goes.

Hello Patrick,
I told the web server admin to test the things you suggested to do.
As soon as I have an answer from him I'll let you know.
Thank you for helping

Hello Patrick,
I asked the webserve admin to check if my application has an ASPNET_CLIENT folder and he told me it exists under my app.
The problem is there are more projects on the same webserver and the webserver admin told me that every single website on the webserver has it's own ASPNET_CLIENT folder.
The strange thing is the logout button (with the same code I'm using in my app) of the other web apps on the same server are working correctly!
I don't know if running the command you suggested could cause other ASPNET_CLIENT folders to be regenerated or if it could cause a loose of it's configuration.
How can I execute the %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_ regiis -c only for MY website ?

P.S. registerStartupScript doesn't work either, I really don't know what else can I do to solve this problem.

Thank you

try
self.close in your javascript if you are using iframes in your logput web page by any chance
or
use window.iframename.close

Michael have you solved your problem
Let me know
Patrick

Hi Patrick, Hi Sri,
I tried EVERYTHING and nothing seem to work.
I changed the old script Response.Write("<script>window.close();</script>");
with this one Response.Write("<script>self.close();</script>"); but i'm getting the same error message "error on page", etc etc etc
It seem the java script is not being recognized, that's why I'm thinking it's a configuration problem and not code problem.
On my development machine it works correctly, but on production server it crashes.
The problem is I don't have access to the web server an I don't how how can i guide the web masters to find and fix the problem.

I really don't know what else can I do to try fixing the problem :(

thank you guys

I think you have to re register the aspnet_client
Run that command aspnet_ regiis -c
I think if you run it on the PC where you have the issue it would only affect that PC..
Or try findoing out how you can direct it to that particular folder there must be a way around it.
Let me know
Patrick

I'll try it.

Thank you Patrick.

On click of logout button, if you just want to close the window then why not do like this

in the pageload add the following code
cmdlogout.attributes.add("onclick","window.close();")
This should solve the problem instad of using response.write

Hope the above solution helps

Hi guys,
Just wanna let you know I've solved the problem using this command:

Me.RegisterStartupScript("PopupScript", "<script>self.close();</script>")

I wanna thank you all of you for helping me. :WAVE:

Michael but i adviced you to do that before :)
Well good you got that working
