After adding RadFormDecorator to pages the positioning is no longer correct. All buttons are in the top left corner of the page.

Hi Guy,

RadFormDecorator is not working with absolutely positioned buttons - our advice is to use CSS to put the elements where you want them as the absolutely positioning has side effects in complex scenarios.

If you insist on using absolute positioning, the only way to achieve this with RadFormDecorator is to style the decorated button as well with absolute positioning.
for example:

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %> 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
<head runat="server"
    <title></title
    <style type="text/css"
    #Button1, 
    #_rfdSkinnedButton1 /* the id of the skinned button*/ 
    { 
        position: absolute; 
        top: 1px;  
        left: 1px;  
    } 
     
    #Button2, 
    #_rfdSkinnedButton2 /* the id of the skinned button*/ 
    { 
        position: absolute; 
        top: 500px;  
        left: 100px;  
    } 
     
    </style> 
</head> 
<body> 
    <form id="form1" runat="server"
    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"
    </asp:ScriptManager> 
    <telerik:RadFormDecorator Visible="true" ID="RadFormDecorator1" runat="server" /> 
    <div style="height: 600"
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="button1" /> 
        <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="button2" /> 
    </div> 
    </form> 
</body> 
</html>

Hi Liji,

As previously noted, RadFormDecorator does not support absolutely positioned elements because of the side effects that occur in certain scenarios. That is why we strongly recommend to achieve the desired positioning with CSS only - the workaround given here is considered a hack and we do not guarantee that it would work in all cases.

Hi Vincent,

I am not quite sure if I understand your question correctly, but if you want to rebind RadGrid, I believe that this help article will be of help. Another option is (if you are using RadAjax) to use ajaxRequest() for that purpose - this approach is used in the Editing RadGrid demo (check the refreshGrid() function in the parent page and RadAjaxManager1_AjaxRequest() in codebehind.
