Border not displayed if cell is empty in Internet Explorer

[Softec]

Hi

There seems to be an Internet Explorer related bug in combination with some of the RadGrid Skins. If there is a border around the selected row (ie Gray, Telerik), any cell which is empty won't get any border. The Css is fine, everything is ok, only IE doesn't render it...

I encountered this in combination with a edit / delete column where the delete button / text gets invisible in editmode. 

Example picture

It's working in every other browser i tested. My workaround at the moment is to set the delete column to visible = false if the row is in edit mode but maybe there is some better solution to this. I tried to set the GridDeleteColumn.Text to   but whitout success. 

Thanks!

Hi Studach Joerg,

The observed glitch is a well-known limitation of Internet Explorer. RadGrid inserts   strings to all its data cells by default, except for GridTemplateColumn cells. When using template columns, you can add a   string at the end of the item template.

There are cases in which the datasource will flush the   strings, e.g. if a certain field contains a space. In such cases you should check for empty cells in ItemDataBound and insert   strings manually:

As for the delete function column - you should set the HeaderText to be   , not Text.

Here's a "hack" that I use.

                        <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Margin">
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <asp:Label ID="lblMargin" runat="server" Text='<%# ((Eval("Margin") == null || Eval("Margin") == "") ? "&nbsp;" : Eval("Margin"))  %>' />
                            </ItemTemplate>
                            <EditItemTemplate>
                                <telerik:RadTextBox skin="Office2007" ID="txtMargin" runat="server" Width="100px"
                                    Text='<%# Eval("Margin") %>' >
                                </telerik:RadTextBox>
                            </EditItemTemplate>
                        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Hi Kevin,

Yup, this is a good one, because the &nbsp; string is not rendered unconditionally.

I'm currently seeing this issue in firefox and not IE.
I am hiding two of three columns dynamically on the client. When the two are hidden the visible one does not span the width of the grid and the border is only applying to the visible cell since the other two of course are hidden.
IE seems to jive though.

edit: im using this method to show and hide grid columns:

        grid.hideColumn(Col.get_element().cellIndex);
        grid.showColumn(Col.get_element().cellIndex);

Additionally I am also grouping the rows by one of the column values.

any thoughts?

cheers

Hi,
I used the same suggested technique

<asp:label ID="comments" runat="server" Text='<%# ((Eval("comments") = = Null || Eval("comments") = = "") ? "&nbsp;" : Eval("comments")) %>' />

 but it raise an error:
BC30201: Expression expected

Do you have any idea about this? I am using visual studio 10, language VB, framework 4.0

Hello,


I am not familiar with VB, but I can point you to use "IIF" condition as suggested in following forum.
Display Image or data in cell based on value returned from database


Happy new year..!

<asp:label ID="comments" runat="server" Text='<%# (If((Eval("Margin") Is Nothing OrElse Eval("Margin") = ""), "&nbsp;", Eval("Margin")))' />

Does this still apply?

[quote]Dimo said: RadGrid inserts &nbsp; strings to all its data cells by default,[/quote]

An older version of Telerik.Web.UI.dll (version 2012.2.724.35) seems to insert the &nbsp;'s fine.

When upgrading to Telerik.Web.UI.dll version 2014.3.1209.35 they do not seem to get inserted.

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        //http://www.telerik.com/forums/document-ready-and-radcontrol-s-availability#2ywVOXdYPUSgz9Sv0jVRsw
        Sys.Application.add_load(function loadHandler() {
            //http://www.telerik.com/forums/radgrid---show-gridlines-even-if-cell-is-empty
            $(".RadGrid TD:empty").append(' ');
        });
    });
</script>

This is a jQuery option to fix this problem and works through paging, references listed.. any less hacky way to fix the new version of RadGrid?

Hey, does anyone know how to solve this problem I am having (See image below). The issues are:

1. In the red-highlighted section, when I click export to pdf everything shows correctly. However if I export to excel I get blank fields (again see image below). Why is this?!?!?!

 

2. In the orange-highlighted section, the field is suppose to be empty, so the excel is actually displaying the grid correctly. But the PDF is displaying the value "null". Why is that?!?!
