Editor dialogs cause page "jump" on first load

[John Brownell]

In the current version of Firefox (3.0.6), opening any dialogs will cause the page to scroll to the top. This only happens the first time you open a particular dialog after the page is loaded. This does not happen in IE 7.

To replicate:
1. Go to: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/default/defaultcs.aspx
2. Make the browser window small enough that you have to scroll down to see the full editor
3. Click "Link Manager" and the browser window pops back to the top
4. Click "Link Manager" again, and it works as expected
5. Click "Image Manager" and the window scrolls to the top
6. Click "Image Manager" again and it works as expected

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

The problem with RadWindow dialogs being added to the page dynamically causing the page to scroll up in FireFox was reported earlier. Indeed, this only happens the first time a dialog is opened (e.g. at the time a window is added to the page). Each subsequent invocation does not cause the behavior since the dialog is alredy a part of the page DOM.

In more recent versions of the RadWindow we changed the place in DOM where the window is added - it used to be added as the last element on the page, and now is as the first. This helped solve two other issues. Unfortunately, changing the place in DOM seems to be causing this unpleasant side effect in FF.

For more information on the only workaround we were able to provide so far, please examine the following forum thread:

Ah, ok. I tried to search the forum to see if this had been reported. Thanks for the response. This workaround will work just fine for now.
