asp.net Dropdownlist onselectedIndexChanged does not fire in IE 10

Question

I have simple (no ajax, no update panels) Asp.net application with a form which contains a server side DropdownList control. It works fine in all browsers except IE 10. Drop

Answer 1

The issue is ASP.NET browser definitions do not recognize IE10 so it defaults to a down-level definition, which has certain inconveniences, like that it does not support features like JavaScript.

An alternative to the machine wide hotfix(s) or site level App_Browser solutions is to simply add Page.ClientTarget = "uplevel" to the Page_Init method in the code behind.

Example:

private void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Page.ClientTarget = "uplevel";     
}
