table within ItemTemplate

[Roy]

Hello everybody,

I have the following scenario:

I have a big form that needs to be filled - but it supposed to be filled in several sessions - across what may be several months. Instead of spreading it onto several pages, I put it within a PanelBar.

I placed the fields themselves inside the ItemTemplate of each of the Bar items (much as the example for accessing inner controls within items).

Since I had many fields, I arranged them in tables, so I could put several (about 3) fields in one row.

The problem starts when the first thing located in the ItemTemplate is a table (doesn't matter if I use asp:table or html table).

The text input controls (RadTextBox or the Input of a RadDatePicker) are acting as if disabled - although I just think the lose focus immediatly after they recieve it.

If I put a RadDatePicker in the ItemTemplate before the table it works just fine.

I can't understand what could have caused this situation, and I can't think of any other way to recieve the perfect alignment the tables provide.

I have similar scenarios in several pages in my application, so it is very important for me to work it out.

Unfortunatly I can't add sample code...

Help needed!

Hello Roy,

We tried to reproduce the reported issue, but to no avail. It will be best if you can open a support ticket and send us a simplified running project (incl. your custom skins, CSS, images, DB backup if needed and so on) demonstrating the problem (and step-by-step instructions on doing so). In that way we can reproduce and pinpoint the problems you're facing on our side, understand the logic of your application and provide a solution.

Sincerely yours,

I've run into this same issue.  Or at least on similar.  For me, It is not that the controls are disabled, but that I cannot retrieve information from them, whether they are in a table or not.
