hi,

i have a little problem positionning raddock in my scenario.

if i click on the image the raddock show but not at the right position, it's positionning at left = 1 and top = 1 but on a div. it's suppose to be on the screen a thought.

If you move the dock and close it, after that if you click again on the image the dock show a the right position on the screen and not on a div.

It would seem that dockStyle.Style.left/top you are actually adhering to the style inside of the <div> tag. Then when you move the dock around you are actually moving it outside of the <div> tags area so it will then refer to the entire page. Try to use the following:

    
                        function ShowDock5() 
        
                        {   
        
                            var dock = $find("<%=RadDock5.ClientID%>");   
        
                            var dockStyle = document.getElementById("<%= RadDock5.ClientID %>");   
        
                            dock.set_height(100);   
        
                            dock.set_width(100);   
        
                            dockStyle.set_left = 1;   
        
                            dockStyle.set_top = 1;   
        
                            dock.get_element().style.zIndex = 1999;   
        
                            dock.set_closed(false);   
        
                        }

I believe if you remove the .style and just do .set_left/top you will get the desired behavior. Check out this documentation article for more info.

I just noticed something in your code, try defining your RadDock this way instead:

    
            <telerik:RadDock ID="RadDock5" runat="server" AutoPostBack="false"  Resizable="true" CloseText="Fermer"  
        
                    DockMode="Floating" DefaultCommands="Close" Height="1px" Width="1px">      
        
                    <ContentTemplate>    
        
                        <asp:Image ID="Image3" runat="server" />  
        
                    </ContentTemplate>     
        
                </telerik:RadDock>

You had defined in the control that Top="1px" and Left="1px". Removing this should help.

Hello Eric,

This is an expected behavior of the RadDock, because when it is loaded for the first time its parent HTML element is a <div> with position:relative and the dock is rendered with (top, left) relative to its parent element. After the dock is dragged (i.e. it changes its position) it becomes child to the <form> and it is rendered relative to the browser window. So, to overcome the problem we can simply make the dock's HTML element child to the <form> when the dock is shown (or when it is initialized). This is the modified ShowDock5() JavaScript method that makes the dock child to the <form>:

    
            <script type="text/javascript"> 
        
                function ShowDock5() 
        
                { 
        
                    var dock = $find("<%=RadDock5.ClientID%>"); 
        
                    var dockElement = dock.get_element(); 
        
                    ///make the dock element child to the <form> 
        
                    dock._form.appendChild(dockElement); 
        
                    dock.set_height(100); 
        
                    dock.set_width(100); 
        
                    ///Set Top and Left 
        
                    dock.set_top(1); 
        
                    dock.set_left(1); 
        
                    dockElement.style.zIndex = 1999; 
        
                    dock.set_closed(false); 
        
                }   
        
            </script>

Please try the code and let me know if you have problems.
