WebForm_FireDefaultButton not firing on root page
I have a master page with the Smart Search Box web part on which is inherited content on all pages of the site. This web part fires the WebForm_FireDefaultButton event fine on all pages in the site other than the home page when it is accessed by http://www.mydomain.com/. If you access the home page by http://www.mydomain.com/Home.aspx the WebForm_FireDefaultButton event fires fine.

The site default alias path is set to /Home and works fine.

I can work around this by setting Redirect document aliases to main URL to true, but that reroutes the page request from http://www.mydomain.com/ to http://www.mydomain.com/Home.aspx which I don't want to happen.

What do I need to do to get the WebForm_FireDefaultButton event to fire when the url http://www.mydomain.com/ is accessed?

BTW: This behaviour also happens with a BizForm that is on the home page.

RE:WebForm_FireDefaultButton not firing on root page
Hi,

What is the exact version number of your CMS?
Have you configured the extension less URLs as described in the guide?
What are your URLs and SEO settings for your site?
What is set as the default alias path?

Best regards,
Juraj Ondrus

Hi Juraj,

I have followed the guide for extension less urls and it worked like a charm. I knew I had to be missing something.

Many thanks,
Lucy
