AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

I'm troubleshooting a site that has been getting weird errors, especially for one product.
Validation of viewstate MAC failed --- I put a machineKey into the web.config file.
System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Padding is invalid and cannot be removed. -- this one might have been a hacker- ip address was SE Asia.
The site also has their Able store embedded into a I frame on a site of theirs. Would this cause any problems, losing session data, Ajax not working?

Thanks

The entire AC7 store is embedded into an iframe tag??

Viewstate MAC errors can be about a million different things. The few I've run into were eliminated by disabling viewstate on the offending page. Not sure if I opened a door that I shouldn't have, but it did eliminate the problem.

I'm impressed the AJAX still works within the iframe

Well, I'm not sure how well the Ajax works in the IFrame. I was just checking to see if that would be one of their problems. This is one of those things where you can spend hours troubleshooting, so I fixed a few things and am waiting to see if it breaks again.

How/where do I disable the view state on a page? In the "@Page" directive?

Yup, that's how I did it. I'm certainly no expert on viewstate though - do so at your own risk

The problem this site was having ended up being a problem with Safari browser and Able has fixed that in build 11659.
