Hello Keith,
Here is a small example I made with your case:
| <script type="text/javascript"> |
| function openRadWindow(e) |
| { |
| //open radwindow here |
| alert(1); |
| $telerik.cancelRawEvent(e); |
| } |
| </script> |
| |
| <telerik:RadRotator DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1" ID="RadRotator1" runat="server" |
| ItemWidth="300px" Width="300px" ItemHeight="300px" Height="300px"> |
| <ItemTemplate> |
| <asp:LinkButton ID="linkButton1" runat="Server"> |
| <img src='<%# XPath("Image") %>' alt=""/> |
| <%# XPath("Text") %> |
| </asp:LinkButton> |
| <asp:LinkButton ID="linkButton2" OnClientClick="openRadWindow(event);return false" |
| runat="Server">Test window open</asp:LinkButton> |
| </ItemTemplate> |
| </telerik:RadRotator> |
The example features a rotator with two link buttons in the item template. One of the link buttons posts back to the server, while the other opens a new window without posting back. In this case you do not need a rotator ItemClick event, because both the image and the text are included in the first link button - clicking either of them will initiate a postback from the link button.
The second link button does not postback. I have achieved this by adding "return false;" after the function call in the OnClientClick property and by canceling the event bubbling using one of our client-side API functions (cancelRawEvent).
If you add an ItemClick event with the above rotator configuration here is what will happen:
- clicking on the first link button (image or text) will produce two postbacks - one for the rotator item click event and one for the link button.
- clicking on the second link button (window open) will not make a postback because we cancel the event bubbling up to the rotator item.
If you still experience problems after using the above example, please open a formal support ticket and send us a sample project and tell us what you think is wrong with it. We will do our best to help you fix it.
