I've got a page that has dynamically created html controls with several needing spellcheck.  I've implemented the solution with a radspell control with no buttontype and the following javascript is called:

<telerik:radspell id="RadSpell1" runat="server" buttontype="none" />

function spellCheckMe(obj) {
    var spell = $find('<%= RadSpell1.ClientID %>');
    spell.set_controlToCheck(obj); 
    spell.startSpellCheck();
}
<a title='Spell Check' href="javascript:spellCheckMe('JobDescriptionEdit');" class="spell_Ext spLinkImg">Spell Check </a>
In Safari & FF, the dialog is centered on the page.  However in IE, the dialog tries to position from the firing button.  Is there some client script that I can use so that IE centers the dialog?  I didn't see it in the online help, but maybe it exists?  If the button that is invoking the spell editor is close to the bottom of viewing area, the spell dialog isn't fully shown.

Hi Debbie,

I tried to reproduce the problem, but without success. You can see my test in the attached video.

Is it possible to open a support ticket and send a sample running example that demonstrates the problem? I will examine it and try to provide a solution.

Kind regards,

I'll submit a support ticket with a website username/pwd so you can see it in action.  (I'm hoping not to have to create a test project b/c of a tight timeline.)

Hello debbie f,

I examined the provided live url and found that your page has the following DOCTYPE:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//Dtd HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" >

To fix the dialog positioning problem you should replace your current page DOCTYPE with this one:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

because RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX are designed, developed and intended to work under standards-compliance mode (in order to make use of all browser, css, javascript, etc. improvements that were introduced with xhtml 1.0 and xhtml 1.1). That is why the red highlighted DOCTYPE above is needed for the proper dialog positioning.



Best regards,
