KendoWindow not displaying in IE8

[FRANCISCO C P RODRIGUES]

Hi,

I am having a problem with kendoWindow and IE8: the kendoWindow don't show on screen.

My application works fine in all other browsers including IE7. But in IE8 the kendoWindow simply do not appear on screen. I tested it in non-modal and modal mode, the problem is the same.
In modal mode, only the overlay appears, in the non-modal mode, nothing happens... 

I created a simple example: http://jsfiddle.net/8rzay/5/

KendoVersion: CDN version 2012.2.710 
OS: Windows 7
Browser: tested with IE8 && with IE9 using the IE8 browser/document mode
Jquery: 1.8.0 && 1.8.1

Hi

I had the same issue and changed back to jQuery version 1.7.1.

The Telerik use jQuery 1.7.1 with the sample code of Kendo - so I assume that version 1.7.1 must have the best test coverage.

Maybe the Kendo team have a workaround for 1.8.0 & 1.8.1

Hello,

jQuery 1.8.+ contains breaking changes and is not compatible with Kendo UI versions that have been released before it. You can try using the service pack that will be released in a few days.

Update: The problem seems to be related to the animation and is not trivial to track down. If we do not manage to fix it by the service pack, you will have to disable Window animation in IE8 by setting animation:false in the Window configuration. Using jQuery 1.7.# is the recommended option.

Hi Gareth and Dimo,

Thanks for the reply!

I changed the jQuery version back to 1.7.2 and it worked fine!

I was aware of the animation problem in 1.8.0 but some how I didn't make the connection...

Thanks again,
Best regards,
