Hi,

If I select a grid item, submit the page and then click "Back" in my browser, the grid item appears selected, yet I am still able to select other items. It appears selected, but it isn't treated as though selected.

You can reproduce the behavior on this page in IE7:

http://www.telerik.com/DEMOS/ASPNET/Prometheus/Grid/Examples/Client/Selecting/DefaultCS.aspx

(1) Deselect "Allow multi-row selection" and click Postback.
(2) Select an item from the 2nd grid on the page and click Postback.
(3) Click the Browser "Back" button.

The grid item remains checked, but if I click on a different grid item, both the new and original items are both checked (but only the row of the new is highlighted). Upon resubmission only the new item is selected.

Is there a way to have the grid appear as normal if the user clicks the Back button in their browser?

Thanks,
Jotham

Hi Maria,

Thanks for the quick response.

I should have included another step in my original post.

(4) Select a different grid item. Both the new and original items will appear checked, even though the grid is in single-select mode.

The issue is not that the grid item is selected upon clicking Back. That is expected. The problem is that in the case of a RadGrid where multi row selection is turned off, if a user uses the Back button as in the scenario I've described, they can end up with multiple items being checked. Selecting a 2nd item should clear the check of the 1st item, but this is not happening.

This is a very minor issue, but do you know if there is a way to fix this behavior?

Thanks,
Jotham
