AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

I get javascript errors on the Admin side when clicking on some of the buttons. This happens on my test server, but not on my development server. I've used WinMerge to compare the files on the two servers and I don't see any missing files, except for some themes that I'm not using. It could be a configuration on the test server. It's 32 bit Window Server SP2 with IIS 7. I've pasted in the error message from the app.log below. They all have the same
"Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: Input string was not in a correct format." message.

Microsoft released an update last month for .NET 4.0 which will fix some issues with later browsers and image buttons. You might want to make sure the server has this update - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2836939/en-us

If you can report back and let us know if this fixes the problem, that would be great.

Thanks

You also might want to look at the following file on the file system to see what that line of code is doing.

I do see the message you are having on numerous sites but is kind of a random thing and when I go to the same page on the site, there is no error. Possible something gets truncated so a variable is read incorrectly. I remember a problem in the past when people had a lot of software installed on their machine - something to do with the request headers, but it might be the IE 10 bug also. Here is a post with the same input string error message.

That server hasn't been updated in over a year. I ran the Windows Update and it looks like the buttons are working now. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
