Greetings - I successfully moved the default home page to the root of the site. All works fine except for one small problem:

This is the standard SmallSearchBox.asp include that I have in header.asp. When the default home page location is viewed, the "searching.. please wait" message does not appear.

The actual text is referenced in language.asp as:
dictLanguage.Add "english_advSrca_23", "Searching... Please Wait."

And I can see this is referenced in smallsearchbox.asp under:

<%
'// Loading Window
Response.Write(pcf_InitializePrototype())
response.Write(pcf_ModalWindow(dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_advSrca_23"), "2", 200))
%>

Is this an Ajax related issue? Any insight or feedback would be appreciated.

Can't say I know the answer off the top of my head, but just check that you followed the guidance on the WIKI for moving to root, which includes a section on preserving AJAX functionality provided by Greg.

The issue is that the JavaScript function that it invokes uses files that are not found since you are loading the code 2 directories up. We are referring to the following function.


Public Function pcf_InitializePrototype()  
    If Not (pcv_strPrototype) Then
        pcv_strPrototype=True
        pcv_NewLine=CHR(10)
        pcv_strModal=""
        pcv_strModal=pcv_strModal&"<link href='screen.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' />"& pcv_NewLine
        pcv_strModal=pcv_strModal&"<script type='text/javascript' src='../includes/javascripts/highslide.html.packed.js'></script>"& pcv_NewLine    
        pcf_InitializePrototype = pcv_strModal
    End If    
End Function

You would have to move a lot of files to the root to make this work properly. Much easier to simply use a version of the "small search box" that does not use the "Wait... searching" modal window.

To do so, remove the following code:


Response.Write(pcf_InitializePrototype())
response.Write(pcf_ModalWindow(dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_advSrca_23"), "2", 200))

I have set the store to webroot but wish to keep ajax messages. Where do I find the wikidoc explaining what I need to do ajax wise to keep it working after the upgrade to 3.5? http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/talk/how_to/ajax_small_search_box - http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/talk/how_to/ajax_small_search_box

Well, her is the thing. It worked before the 3.5 upgrade. So, perhaps the main wiki page for small search box should document the addendum if you move site to webroot or had it in root and receive a vbScript error. On the talk page that I created, I posted the link to your answer before I got your reply.
