I'm having a problem where the controls on my popup EditForm are not rendering completely, even though they seem to be fully functional. The situation is much worst in IE than Firefox or Chrome but they both still have minor issues.
 
For example in IE, the date/time gadget on the right hand side of the controls are invisible but the mouse still changes to a 'hand' when hovering over the place they should be. After clicking, the dropdown calendar/time picker appears but has a transparent background. In Chrome or Firefox, almost everything looks OK except that the control tools in the edit box are monochrome.

I have attached images of screenshots from IE and Firefox plus cut down versions of my aspx and ascx code files. I would be grateful for any help you could give me.

    From Telerik Support Forum:
 
    Title: Incorrect rendering of RadEditor
 
    In case where RadEditor is initially hidden and displayed using AJAX is causing the
    editor to render with incorrect width on the first show. This scenario applies for
    RadGrid edit template, RadEditor inside a RadPageView, etc.
     
    This problem occurs due to the fact that RadEditor CSS files are not fully loaded
    when the editor calculates its’ toolbar size. To avoid this problem you need to
    register the RadEditor’s CSS files manually on the page:
 
    Since Q2 2011 you need to use the Telerik.Web.SkinRegistrar.GetWebResourceUrl() method:
    -->
    <telerik:RadCodeBlock ID="RadCodeBlock2" runat="server">
        <link href='<%= Telerik.Web.SkinRegistrar.GetWebResourceUrl(Me, GetType(RadEditor), "Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.Editor.css") %>' rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
        <link href='<%= Telerik.Web.SkinRegistrar.GetWebResourceUrl(Me, GetType(RadEditor), "Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.Default.Editor.Default.css") %>' rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
        <link href='<%= Telerik.Web.SkinRegistrar.GetWebResourceUrl(Me, GetType(RadWindow), "Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.Window.css") %>' rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
        <link href='<%= Telerik.Web.SkinRegistrar.GetWebResourceUrl(Me, GetType(RadWindow), "Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.Default.Window.Default.css") %>' rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Hi Geoff,

Could you please check if:

1. The versions of the dlls Telerik.Web.UI and Telerik.Web.UI.Skins are the same (for example both should be 2013.3.1114).

2. There is a doctype and if it is the first line of html that is rendered on the page.

3. Keep in mind that there is a limitation that exist in IE browser: it cannot load more than 31 stylesheets per file and more than 4095 selectors per css file. Here is a blog post on our web site that I strongly suggest to review: http://blogs.telerik.com/aspnetmvcteam/posts/10-05-03/internet-explorer-css-limits.aspx. Each Telerik control uses at least two stylesheets, a few controls use much more, so if you have several controls on the page, it is possible that you have more than 31 stylesheets.

Venelin

Hi Venelin,
    Thank you for the reply. Here is my response to each point you raise:

1. OK, we are sticking with the version of the Web UI that existed at the beginning of our project, that is Telerik.Web.UI 2013.2.717 but how do I determine the version of the Web.UI.Skins?
 
[Note: I'm gradually building custom skins from the Visual Style Builder but the controls that are not displaying correctly, currently have no custom skin set and are left to the default (WebBlue?).]

2. Yes, I checked (from View Source) and the doctype is the first line rendered.

3. Ooh! OK, well I didn't know that, thanks for the info. That worries me because I have a grid with a popup edit screen and some controls around the periphery of the screen. A quick count revealed ten control types (at least 20 style sheets) but that assumed that the grid with its filtering controls was only one control type.

I would be grateful for any further help/advice you can give me on points 1 and 3.

Regards

Geoff

Hello Geoff,

It seems the problems comes from reaching the amount of the CSS files. In this case I suggest you to use the RadStyleSheetManager which can combine the files.

Also I recommend you to take advantage of web tools like Firebug for Firefox / IE developer tool in order to trace similar issues on your end. Shortcut F12 activates both and with them it is very easy to inspect the HTML elements or to observe all downloaded files with their network monitoring. They also show the count
of all download files.

I hope this helps.

Galin,
    Thank you very much for your help on this matter. I used the developer tools in IE and Chrome to determine the number of style sheets in use. It was 31 in IE and 32 in Chrome, so clearly IE was unable to load the last one. I then did as you suggested regarding the RadStyleSheetManager. It worked great and reduced number of style sheets down to 20. I also noticed in the help text that custom style sheets can be included in the RadStyleSheetManager too, so I shall continue to optimise.

The Telerik team have been a great help to me this year, so I would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to you and the rest of the support team. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Regards

Geoff
