    New Best Practice: Ajaxifying UserControls

    One of the features added to RadAjax "Prometheus" in the recent service pack was a new control called the RadAjaxManagerProxy. This control enables you to easily Ajaxify controls in your UserControls without worrying about adding multiple RadAjaxManagers to a page. Most RadAjax developers would probably say that Ajaxifying UserControls is one of the more difficult aspects of adding Ajax to an ASP.NET application. Even with good documentation, it is difficult to decide whether you should add an AjaxManager to each UserControl or handle all UserControl Ajax settings programmatically from a parent container. The big drawback of the later option (which is usually the...

    On closing IFRAME tags

    I was debugging some obscure problem the other day. For some reason the __doPostBack JavaScript function was not defined (or “undefined” in JavaScript terms ;) ). It wouldn’t be so suspicious if I was able to view the source of the page and see the declaration of __doPostBack routine. It turned out some iframe break the whole thing. Consider the following html (notice that the iframe is in minimized form): <div>I am before the iframe</div><iframe src="http://www.telerik.com" /><div>I am after the iframe</div> In that case the second div was not rendered at all. IN ALL BROWSERS!!! First I thought it was one of “those” Internet...
