Checkbox issue with browser back button

[Brennan]

I have a RadGrid setup with a GridClientSelectColumn and AllowMultiRowSelection = false. When the page is posted back and I hit the browser back button, the previously selected checkbox is still checked. When I check another row, the first one stays checked causing two checkboxes to be checked. On top of that, it's a real pain to uncheck the first checkbox for an end-user.

Telerik has confirmed that this is not a bug with RadGrid but a browser issue, and it will be difficult to deal with since the page is not reloaded when using the browser back button.

Can anyone think of a way to clear the RadGrid checkboxes after hitting the back button?

Example:
- Go to: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/client/selecting/defaultcs.aspx
- Uncheck: Allow multi-row selection (both grids) (you may have to do a post back to persist this setting)
- Check a row in the 2nd grid (Grid with ClientSideSelectColumn)
- Click the PostBack button
- Hit your browser's back button
- Check another row
- You will see that the previous row stays checked along with the new one
- Now, try to get the original row unchecked

Hello David,

You can use this javascript:

<telerik:RadCodeBlock ID="RadCodeBlock1" runat="server">

    <script type="text/javascript">

 

        function GridCreated(sender, eventArgs) {

 

            var items = document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")

            var i = items.length;

            var item;

            do {

                item = items[i-1];

                if (item.type == "checkbox") {

                    item.checked = false;

                }

            }

            while (--i);

        }           

    </script>

</telerik:RadCodeBlock>

And do not forget to register this function on grid's client-side event OnGridCreated.

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" .... >
       <ClientSettings EnableRowHoverStyle="true">
           <Selecting AllowRowSelect="True" />
           <ClientEvents OnGridCreated="GridCreated" />
       </ClientSettings>
