I am trying to us a simple UpdatePanel (UpdatePanel with a simple button and a label to return time of day). The UpdatePanel runs fine until I open a second IE browser window. When I return to the window with the UpdatePanel and click the button, I get an "Error on page" message and the UpdatePanel stops working. The message is as follows: "Message: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: The message received from the server could not be parsed. .... URI: http://xxxx.xxxx.com/xxx/ScriptResource.axd?d=VW0in8phYIs...."
This doesn't happen when I test the code in localhost. I've tried updating the Web.config to include a MachineKey and I've added ScriptResource.axd (<add name="ScriptResource" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />) to the system.webServer, but no change, the UpdatePanel runs fine until I open another IE browser window.
This is running in a shared environment, on IIS 7 servers, that uses load balancing on our intranet.
Is this a server issue or UpadaePanel issue? Any solutions?
