FIX: Web clients may have several problems when you access an ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX-enabled Web site

Article ID: 961864 - View products that this article applies to.

SYMPTOMS

When you access a Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX-enabled Web site, Web clients such as Windows Internet Explorer may have several problems. For example, the process may exit unexpectedly, or you may receive the following script error message:

Microsoft JScript runtime error: '__pendingCallbacks[...].async' is null or not an object

This problem occurs most frequently when multiple callbacks call the WebForm_CallbackComplete function at the same time. This problem occurs especially when one of the callbacks that is executed displays a modal dialog box, such as an alert dialog box or an error message.
