[Solved] Dynamically created clientEvents and Firefox

[Andreas Kaech]

Hi Telerik,
I define a DropDown (sitting in a TemplateColumn) ClientEvent in RadGrid1_DataBound:
var itemreorder = ((GridDataItem) gitem)["ColumnName"];
var ddl = (RadComboBox) itemreorder.FindControl("ddl");
ddl.OnClientSelectedIndexChanged = "onSelectedIndexChanged";
In IE there is no problem to find this function.
But Firefox complains: "onSelectedIndexChanged is not defined".
Why?
Best regards,
Andreas

Hello Andreas Kaech,

Thank you for contacting us.
It looks like you are missing your client side onSelectedIndexChanged function declared. Please make sure that it is available on the page. Also find the attached example I've prepared for your convenience.

Sincerely yours,

Hello Nikolay,
sorry for having disturbed you ;-)
The problem was in a "lazy" selection of an "intellisense item".
Firefox didn't like <script type="text/jscript">.
Changing to <script type="text/javascript"> made the code visible for all browsers, not only for IE.

Thanks and best regards,
Andreas

Hi again,
one more issue:
In this code-snippet
***********
var dropdownCell = masterTable.getCellByColumnUniqueName(dropdown[0], "DropDownColumn");
alert(dropdownCell.childNodes.length);
***********
the result in IE is 1 and in Firefox 3. So its difficult to reach the appropriate childNode.
Any suggestion?

Thanks and best regards,
Andreas

Hello Andreas Kaech,

Thank you for getting back to us. The difference is caused by the browser implementation of DOM. That's why in Firefox you have two extra empty text nodes. You can iterate through childNodes and check the nodeType as well.

If you provide more information what you are actually trying to achieve I can help you further. Thanks!
