DNN CMS problem - after upgrade to 8.0.4 some Admin dropdowns are not working

I'm working with DNN and just did a (test) upgrade from version 7.2.1 to version 8.0.4. Most everything is working well, with a few fixes.

However, I have one issue I haven't been able to resolve.
In the Admin pages (specifically, Add New Page, but a few others), some (not all) of the dropdowns to select fields - notably the Parent Page dropdown (where you select which page is to be the parent of the new page you are adding) - don't work.

I get the "spinning wheel" which never resolves. It will just keep spinning indefinitely. This is also the case for the dropdowns for setting the Template Folder, Copy From Page, Filter By Group, and Output Cache Provider, these all do not work.

I've asked on the DNNsoftware forum to no avail so far. There was some talk about Telerik version, but I am using the version installed with the upgrade (and tried swapping in the previous version - same result).

Does anyone know where I should be looking for a solution to this issue?

Thanks

Tom

I found the fix:

To fix, I removed ClientIDMode="AutoID" from the following 'pages' tag in the web.config file

< pages validateRequest="false" enableViewStateMac="true" enableEventValidation="true" controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID" >
