Page_Load called in Firefox, but not IE

Question

I've been thrown into an ASP.NET project and I've got a page which contains a control that is fetched via AJAX.

The Page_Load function of the control does a little bit of logic necessary to get the correct values from the Query string.

The problem is that the Page_Load function isn't called in IE.

If I put a breakpoint in, I can load the page in FF and watch it stop, but in IE: no deal.

I'm pretty (read: COMPLETELY) new to ASP.NET, but I'm a pretty experienced PHP developer. So I'm thinking it's probably some funk with the way that IE does the AJAX callback to get the control.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Cheers

It seems like it was a caching issue, solved by doing something like this:

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Cache.SetNoStore();
    Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
    Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now);
    Response.Cache.SetLastModified(DateTime.Now);
    Response.Cache.SetAllowResponseInBrowserHistory(false);
    base.OnLoad(e);
}

Maybe try debugging the javascript to see if it ever trys to get the control in IE? If you can. Better yet, watch in Fiddler. http://www.Fiddler2.com
