• Flexible Rendering Mechanism

  New, faster rendering mechanism - The new RadFormDecorator is more flexible, as it covers a number of scenarios that the old rendering was not possible to accommodate in a seamless cross-browser manner. Examples are: changing the text of a button on the client-side with javascript, attaching event handlers to a button, providing additional styling to fieldset elements, etc. The new rendering works much faster because it takes heavy advantage of the browser’s CSS engine. The old rendering relied stronger on JavaScript because of its IE6 support. Now the core implementation targets newer browsers, and the code is branched for IE6 where necessary. The new rendering also performs much better with partial page updates (AJAX)

  Configuring the ASP.NET AJAX FormDecorator by Telerik is really effortless. It takes only seconds to add it to your page and there are only two properties to consider - DecoratedControls as well as DecoratedZoneID. It takes a minute to check what the Decorator does and whether it is fit for a particular page or particular application.

• Ultimate User Experience

  Besides giving you the freedom to easily style your page elements, Telerik ASP.NET FormDecorator delivers some additional extras and eliminates some well known glitches. 

  
  

  • Mouse over effects - RadFormDecorator allows you to add hover effects to buttons, check boxes and radio buttons. This advantage is easily achieved through pure CSS. 
  • Styling for disabled elements - Another cool feature in RadFormDecorator is that it provides different styles for disabled radio buttons, checkboxes and textboxes. 
  • Caching of images for IE - You know how frustrating can be when your background images flicker on mouse over. RadFormDecorator eliminates this problem under IE.
