CascadingDropDown List functionality anomalie

I have a bizarre problem I am not sure how to go about solving. I have a relatively complicated page that uses 2 cascading drop down lists (category, child category) to determine what records will be displayed in a GridView which can then be edited in a DetailsView control. The functionality works 100% in my development environment, but for some odd reason it breaks on my beta server. I had this same problem with a CalendarExtender control (which I swapped for an older JavaScript version to rectify) where the Calendar popup would not popup on my beta server, but worked 100% on my local environment. I downloaded the latest release ajaxtoolkit dll and associated files and updated my bin folder to no avail. Is there something I am missing? Why would my beta server function differently here?

Any thoughts on what I should check would be helpful. If it works on my local environment, I am lead to believe it is some kind of AJAX configuration problem and not a code issue.


Thanks in advance.

Just in case anyone else runs into a similar issue, it turns out there was a bizarre issue with the AJAX Extensions installation. While I had installed the latest version of the AJAX Extensions and the GAC reported the latest as well, there was apparently a conflict within the Temporary files folder for the 2.0 Framework. See the following thread where I found the answer:
