ASP.NET event wiring does not work as expected if there are many controls in the page in IE8 native mode
Well, it looks like IE8 in native mode doesn't look like ASP.NET event wiring. I have some heavy pages designed in ASP.NET 2.0. By heavy, I mean having a lot of server controls and callback controls. The final actions are Apply and Cancel, but the user sets the control data through callbacks.
I have seen that when the Apply button is clicked, it is called the standard ASP.NET page event like Page_load, init, etc. repeatedly. And as a consequence, the functionality doesn't work as expected. These pages work fine when the application is launched in IE7 or IE8 (IE7 emulation mode).
There is no way to attach the code because it is huge and proprietary. I am wondering if any of you are facing a similar problem for an ASP.NET application launched from IE8.
Appreciate any pointers.
Thank you Dananai

I have worked on several ASP.NET 2.0 Web Forms applications in IE8 native mode and had no issues.
These events on the page are all hooked up on the server side, so unless you have some weird javascript doing backlinks on the page ... the browser shouldn't influence how many times they are called.
I would validate any of your custom javascript and make sure that your form does not return to the server multiple times per submission.
