Attach window somewhere other than end of body

[Brian Vallelunga]

I'm trying to add a Kendo window to an existing .NET Webforms project. Unfortunately, the window moves the window contents to just before the closing body tag. The problem with this is that I have a button that needs to remain inside of the page's main form.

Attempting to detach and then append the k-window div fixes the button issue, but on closing the window the overlay does not disappear. Any suggestions?

To follow-up, I can get around this by manually calling hide() on the overlay in the closing event of the window. I don't know if this might break something in the future, but it works for now.

If the work-around you found works in your scenario, that's great! We will consider introducing a way to select a container element for the window that will require less code.

All the best,

This is a big miss. I had to create my custom windows in order to make a dashboard. 
This issue needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. I want to be able to position it relative to its parent.

Hi Alex, which version of kendo UI will get this feature ["way to select a container element for the window"]

When initializing a WINDOW component, you should be able to specify where the window should be rendered. Currently all windows are treated as modals and placed before closing the BODY tag.

This feature is vital and also will help us in creating dashboards and custom tiles views.
