ASP.Net Form POstback and IIS

Question

I have a website which runs on IIS6. The homepage for the website is specified in the IIS Documents setting. The homepage is

Pages/Homepage.aspx?pageId=1512

The home must be in the pages sub dir because this is used by the sites CMS (Ektron)

The problem I have is that when the homepage is loaded the form tag in the ASP.Net is rendered follows

<form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="Homepage.aspx?pageid=1512" id="aspnetForm">

This should render as:

<form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="Pages/Homepage.aspx?pageid=1512" id="aspnetForm">

This problem only happens on the page that is specified in IIS as the home page. All other pages on the site render fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks Ash......

I have managed to resolve this problem. The issue is caused by the home page of th site not being in the root of the site. I have blogged about the solution here: ( See Blog ) Hope that this helps some one else out too! Ash...
