Cannot read property 'style' of null

[JP]

Hi,

I'm adding a RadWindow in the page's init event so I can use it to display async postback errors. But when I try to open the RadWindow on the client, I get the following javascript error:
"Cannot read property 'style' of null" in this codeblock: 

if(this._dockMode){this._contentElement.style.width="1px";

Thats my server-side code:

RadWindow window = new RadWindow();
 window.ID = "AsyncErrorMessageWindow";
 window.ClientIDMode = ClientIDMode.Static;
 HtmlGenericControl contentDiv = new HtmlGenericControl("div");
 contentDiv.ID = "AsyncErrorMessageWindowContent";
 contentDiv.Attributes["class"] = "AsyncErrorMessageWindow_Content";
 window.ContentContainer.Controls.Add(contentDiv);
 Form.Controls.Add(window);

and this is what I do client-side:

function onEndRequest(sender, args) {
   // error handler
   if (args.get_error()) {
      var message = args.get_error().message;
      args.set_errorHandled(true);
      if (args.get_error().name === 'Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException') {
         if (args._error.httpStatusCode == 0) {
            return false;
         }
      }

      var window = $find('AsyncErrorMessageWindow');
      var windowContent = $('.AsyncErrorMessageWindow_Content');
      windowContent.text(message);
      window.set_modal(true);
      window.set_title(ae_data.title);
      window.autoSize();
      window.show();
   }

   return true;
}

Is there something I forgot? I'm using the RadWindow at other locations where it works fine.

Thanks for your help!

Hello JP,

I advise that your remove the following line:

window.ClientIDMode = ClientIDMode.Static;

because the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX do not support this mode (Static). Many of them are complex container structures and need the standard ID generation mechanism ASP provides and this is also the case with the RadWindow.
