[RESOLVED] Jquery to PageMethods

Code:

---

<asp:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server" EnablePageMethods="true" EnablePartialRendering="true">
</asp:ToolkitScriptManager>  <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $(".mnuMainMenu_SkipLink a").each(function (index)
                        {
                            $(this).click(ClearCache(););
                        }
                    );
                   
                  }
    );
   
    function ClearCache() {
        PageMethods.ClearSearchCache();
    }
</script>

I am trying to make jquery find my asp.net menu and add a click event on each one that will call some server side script.

However I keep getting the message Object expected. I am unable to tell whether it cant find my page method or my jquery is wrong?

I simplyfied the function and still get the error

Code:

---

$(function () { $(".mnuMainMenu a").each(function (index) { $(this).click(function () { alert("fish");}); }); });

---

I am basically trying to copy this tutorial and adapt it for my needs
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4...m-from-aspmenu

it's probably trying to assign the click event before the DOM is ready. try putting that code inside the following function

Code:

---

$(document).ready(function() {

        });

---

Ok I solved the original error, I wasnt referencing the jquery library correctly, however the I dont think my code is finding the menu items as the alert still doesnt present its self.
I also added the code into the function as above.

Code:

---

<a href="#MainMenu_mnuMainMenu_SkipLink"><img alt="Skip Navigation Links" src="/WebResource.axd?d=_1nhm1HxiLCVEzCUEJg_xF7psxFSLCBcivpWJjmInnqGrey1YpUhgYK2XOZ684dF2-bOL7YIubQtVWwFBffiGONXTj41&amp;t=634376242957102069" width="0" height="0" style="border-width:0px;" /></a><div id="MainMenu_mnuMainMenu">
        <ul class="level1">
                <li><a title="Help" class="level1" href="/Help.aspx">help and faq</a></li>
        </ul>
</div><a id="MainMenu_mnuMainMenu_SkipLink"></a>

After all that I got the jquery working but now it seems that PageMethods will not work when using Usercontrols or master pages, what a waste of time :(

Code:

---

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {

        $(function () { $("#MainMenu_mnuMainMenu").each(function (index) { $(this).click(function () { ClearCache(); return true; }); }); });

        function ClearCache() {
            alert("fishy");
            PageMethods.ClearSearchCache();
        }
    });

 
</script>

Ok its not as bad as expected most of the code i.e. the scriptmanager and the jquery can all go in the master page only the webmethod as below needs to go in the actual page and is apparently not allowed in the code behind. But could I just add a reference to it instead of repeating on each page?
<script language="C#" runat="server">
[System.Web.Services.WebMethod(CacheDuration = 60)]


public static void ClearSearchCache()
{
SearchResults sContent = SearchResults.GetContent();
if (sContent != null)
{
HttpContext.Current.Session.Remove("_SearchResults_");
}
}

</script>

If that method wants to be on every page, then you could create a Base Page class which includes it, and have all your ASP.Net Page inherit from that Base Page class.
