Caption/title disappearing in non-IE browsers

[topry]

I've tested under IE6, 7, 8, without issues.
However under current Windows releases of Chrome and Safari, the radWindow title appears for a moment when the window is created and then immediately disappears after the passed form is loaded.

The simplest example:

var wnd = radopen("MyDialog.aspx?", null);
wnd.set_title("My RadWindow Caption");

I've also tested with RadWindow using:

var oWnd = $find("<%= RadWindow1.ClientID %>");
oWnd.set_title("My Dialog Title");

with same results.
However, if I pass a URL (http://www.telerik.com) vs a relative webform, the caption is not cleared.

Hello Topry,

This behavior is expected - RadWindow will automatically pick the title of the content page if it is from the same domain as the parent page. You can override that behavior by using one of the following approaches :

• set the title in the page load event of the RadWindow as follows :
  

  <script type="text/javascript">
      function windowLoad(oWindow, args)
      {
          oWindow.set_title("New title");
      }
      function openWindow()
      {
          var oWindow = radopen("Popup.aspx", "RadWindow1");
          oWindow.remove_pageLoad(windowLoad);
          oWindow.add_pageLoad(windowLoad);
      }
  </script>

• set the desired value between the <title> tag on the content page. That value will be used as a value of the RadWindow's title

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Thanks, that resolves it for me - I must have missed it in the docs.

Hello, your approach works if the title is static, but what if the title is passed to openWindow(title) method? How to forward it to windowLoad method?

Thanks.

Never mind I found a solution

<script type="text/javascript">
    function windowLoad(oWindow, args) {
        oWindow.set_title(oWindow.argument);
    }
    function openWindow(title) {
        var oWindow = radopen("Popup.aspx", "RadWindow1");
        oWindow.argument = title;
        oWindow.remove_pageLoad(windowLoad);
        oWindow.add_pageLoad(windowLoad);
    }
</script>
