I think I have answered my own question by finding this information: http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/10/15/Why-Wildcard-application-mapping-can-disable-Default-Document-resolution.aspx Hope this helps someone else at least.

Hi there, I'm running a .NET web app and using a wildcard application map setup in IIS to secure all files (I need images etc to be secure as well as pages). It's working fine, but there is one snag. When I type in the address of the app using the virtual directory root (e.g...

Thanks alot for your fast response. By analysing the logs further I've managed to narrow down the behaviour to pages which contain IE WebControls (what a rubbish decision it was to use these!). I will do some further investigation first so as not to waste any more of your time! Thanks again.

I just check, yes it does happen when I debug too. Strange huh?!

Hi, We recently setup a custom 404 error page for our ASP.NET application which e-mails details of the missing page to a specified account. Surprisingly we were immediately bombarded with 404 errors for content where the file name is 'null'. Cross-referencing this with IIS logs it is...

Hi, I've been using .NET for ages now but recently have started using it in conjunction with XML. I have a v.simple XML document with DOCTYPE reference to my DTD at the top which I wish to validate the XML against, however when I load the XML into a XMLDocument object I get the following...

hi, don't know whether this is helpful to you but it's the method I use to solve the problem you are describing. the idea is to manually catch the postback and use a combination of the javascript methods focus() and scrollIntoView() full details on Matt Meleski's blog here...

I'm no expert on ASP.NET 2.0, however it seems to callback by invoking server side code from client javascript over XMLHTTP, which is exactly how AJAX works. Chris

For thread completion, I just today found a solution to this. The keyword in my post was behaviour. The (htc) behaviours with the IE webcontrols I am using was effecting the progess bar. See for more info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q320731#kb3 Hope this helps...

Thanks alot kaht, that's exactly the sort of effect I am after! Knew there would be some kind of workaround.

Thanks MrGrey, that's what I needed to know.

Thanks ca8msm. The table forms a floating menu which moves down over the page, so it's not a case of hiding the inputs, I just want it to be consistent - it's very messy if the lists show through in the middle of the menu.

Hi Dave, I've set the background-color of the table but they still show through. It's so annoying, none of the other elements on the page show through! It's sending me crazy! Thanks though!

I have a form with standard HTML drop down lists in. When I position a table over the form using CSS absolute positioning, no matter how high I set the z-index the drop down lists always show through. Is there any way to get them to stay behind the table? Thanks in advance, Chris

Thanks Jim, I'm inclined to agree with you. Just done some testing using Firefox and don't get this behaviour. Flippin' IE.
