hello,

I seem to have an issue with the dialogs in prometheus radeditor when the page containing the editor is in a frame in a frameset.

The dialogs appear at the bottom of the page and cannot be moved and don't fully work, it is indicating a javascript error.

If I copy the url and paste it into a non frameset page it loads and works without any dialog issues

Hello,

I just created a simple page with three frames and each one had an editor inside it. The editor dialogs looked and behaved OK in all three frames.

The problem might be related to the editor page doctype. Make sure you have an XHTML compliant doctype for the frame which contains the editor. For example:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

If you see a JavaScript error when the page loads or when a dialog is opened, please give us the error details so we can investigate further. If possible, send us the code for the frameset page and the frame, which contains the editor.

Sincerely yours,

Hello,

It works fine on firefox and IE6, not on IE7

here is my doctype for the frame

doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd xhtml 1.0 transitional//en" "http://www.w3.org/tr/xhtml1/dtd/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

and for the container page

<!

DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">

Hi,

I am still unable to reproduce the problem on IE 7 even with the doctypes you sent. Please open a formal support ticket and send us the frameset page and the page containing the editor. I hope this way we can track down the bug and fix it in time for the service pack release.

Best wishes,

I had the same problem and was able to solve it.  Mine started out that I was taking over a piece of a project that was a change request.  We were using an older version of the editor and I needed to use the newer editor.  I also created a custom button/dialog for the control.  So I was testing the control in a single page by itself and it worked fine.  When I moved it to the testing server and ran it in the frameset, none of the dialogs worked.  My first attempt at fixing it was following this post and changing the DOCTYPE.  That still didn't work.  I finally figured out that the FRAMESET code was not really formatted correctly.  The last developer (really old code too) had put frameborder="yes" for one frame and frameborder="no" for another.  When I changed the values to a "1" and a "0" instead, everything started working correctly.  The bottom line is that for it to be truely XHTML compliant, everything must be correct.

I hope this helps!

Hi Cliff,

Thank you for sharing your solution with our community! I updated your Telerik points for that.

I created also a KB article on the subject that could be helpful for your fellow developers. Here it is:
