I am getting a really weird error when testing a page with accordion ctrl in IE 6.0 and lower. I was eventually forced to download a suite of older IE versions for testing purposes, but to my grief and frustration doesn't the older versions of IE only completely come apart when they see valid CSS, they also fail the automated ajaxtoolkit test harness:
AJAX Control Toolkit Automated Test Harness Passed:214, Failed:7, Not Run:2
fyi, I am using the latest release of Ajax Extensions 1.0 and the last AjaxControlToolkit.
the failure returns a
Sys.Webforms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: an unknown error occured while processing the request on the server. The status code returned from the server was: 12019.
In break mode, it reports an error in msxml3.dll: The download of the specified resource has failed, halting on line 4201 in ScriptResource.axd
The error takes place on all ajax implementation in my site, and is also reported when running the test harness on my version of ie 6.0 at the following points in the test:
DropDown
Cleanup after UpdatePanel submit
Step 1: [object Error]
PopupControl
Cancel in Popup
Step 1: Timeout exceeded
Commit in Popup
Step 1: Timeout exceeded
Commit empty text in Popup
Step 1: Timeout exceeded
Commit in UpdatePanel Popup
Step 1: Timeout exceeded
RatingControl
Attach to onChangeRating
Step 1: Timeout exceeded
UpdatePanelAnimation
OnUpdating/OnUpdated
Step 1: [object Error]
As I am trying to use this on a public site, it is pretty frustrating that the browser that is really acting up has of course got to be Internet Explorer. And as there is no way to force people to upgrade to IE 7.0 (which has truly come a long way towards becoming a compliant browser!), it won't happen before most people switch to Vista, which for my client is a little too late. So, how do I ensure that these controls are useable for most people? They were supposed to make my pages more accessible, not less...
I wonder if this is due to missing service pack installation on the browsers I am using for testing, and if it is, how do I ensure my users won't lack the same service packs?
The other really big frustration for me is that the controls aren't at all emitting valid xhtml. That goes for several of the controls in the toolkit. Why release something that has not even passed the most basic of quality control, I wonder? What's the hurry?
Sadly, it would be less work doing it all in Flash, and probably more rewarding for my client, too.
(the latter was not supposed to be in red, only the test harness points. tried to clean out the formatting tags of the post, but without luck)
Please help...
FYI I downloaded and used the package fromhttp://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE, which is fantastric, but that for some reason does not allow older versions of IE to cope with callbacks. If anyone could help find a solution to the problem of making that package work with ajax, we would all have a better tool for testing toolkit enabled web sites in various browser versions. Have a look.
Hi jkey,
All the tests pass fine in a normal install of IE6. I'd recommend you tryusing IE6 in Virtual PC as the IE team suggests.
Thanks,
Ted
Ted,
Thanks for the clarification. I am using a separate computer for IE6 testing. Hard to do that with all the different IE versions still out there.
Hence, it would be really nice is if someone would put together an online service that would allow us to test sites on multiple platforms and browsers...

something like this, only cheaper? http://www.browsercam.com/Pricing.aspx
Any luck getting rid of this error or having a work around?
I'm having similar problems on IE5.5. The error message I receive is
"Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: An Unknown error occurred while processing the request on the server. The status code returned from the server was: 12019"
It works fine on IE6, IE7 and Firefox, just not IE5.5. The unfortunate thing is, I have lots of users accessing through Win2k and IE5.5.
Cheers
Derek
Im having the same issue with Multiple_IE - just doesn't like it and giving me 12019 errors all over the place.
has a solution been found (other than running a virutal machine)?
