Error open RadWindow in IE8 ?

[Pham]

Hi everybody!
I have a problem when I try to open radwindow: I can't open radwindow in IE8 because javascript error. But I browser my project in FireFox, it can run. Have you any idea? Thanks you very much!
My code :

function GetRadWindow() {

         var oWindow = null;
         if (window.radWindow) oWindow = window.radWindow;
         else if (window.frameElement.radWindow) oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;
         return oWindow;
     }

     function Close() {
         GetRadWindow().close();
     }

     function CloseAndRebind(args) {
         GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow.refreshGrid(args);
         GetRadWindow().close();
     }

     function CloseWithArg() {
         var customArg = $get("TextBox1").value;
         GetRadWindow().close(customArg);
     }

     function openTramWD()
     {
         var oWnd = radopen("myRadWindow.aspx","radWindowfrTram");        //Error here!
     }

Hi Ducanh,

  Can you confirm that this is an issue with IE8 and not IE9? Which version of our controls are you using? Is it a version from before Q1 2011? If this is the case I would advise that you upgrade  to the latest, since versions prior to Q1 2011 do not support IE9, as they have been released before IE9 was released. Then IE9 introduced a breaking change in the way iframes are created, which often results in a JavaScript error with the RadWindow. This has been fixed since Q1 2011.


All the best,

Thanks Admin!
Now, I am using version Q1 2010. I will try with lastest version.

Hello I am getting the same Issue as the poster.

In IE8 the radwindow fires a javascript Error.

Invalid Error: Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd?_TSM_HiddenField_=RadScriptManager1_TSM&compress=1&_TSM_CombinedScripts_=%3b%3bSystem.Web.Extensions%2c+Version%3d4.0.0.0%2c+Culture%3dneutral%2c+PublicKeyToken%3d31bf3856ad364e35%3aes-ES%3a1f68db6e-ab92-4c56-8744-13e09bf43565%3aea597d4b%3ab25378d2%3bTelerik.Web.UI%2c+Version%3d2011.2.712.40%2c+Culture%3dneutral%2c+PublicKeyToken%3d121fae78165ba3d4%3aes-ES%3af9722142-3e1c-4803-86df-ecfc0d24f144%3a16e4e7cd%3aed16cbdc%3a58366029%3af7645509%3a24ee1bba%3af46195d3%3a1e771326%3aa7e79140%3aaa288e2d%3a874f8ea2%3a19620875%3a490a9d4e%3a407acb1c%3ae330518b%3ac8618e41%3ae4f8f289%3abd8f85e4, Línea 6 Carácter 63405

The problem specifically happens when I try to open Multiple radwindows at the same time from a non-postback button on a grid (Multiple view/edition of rows in database).

It doesn't happen in IE9, Firefox nor Chrome... just IE8

NOTE: in my case it seems that the line of code inside the resoure file that causes the error seems to say a.left = ????

Hello Elio,

Please try using a small timeout when opening multiple RadWindows, for example:

setTimeout(function(){
    radopen(null, null);
}, 0);
setTimeout(function(){
    radopen(null, null);
}, 0);
setTimeout(function(){
    radopen(null, null);
}, 0);

If this does not help I would need to examine some markup/JavaScript that reproduces this issue so that I can investigate it. I would also need some information on the version of our controls that you are using. A possible way is to try upgrading to the latest to see if it helps.

Hello Marin, that "solution" did workout as intended, but the telerik Scripts still fire a javascript error that seems weird to me to be honest.

There must be a way that the inner script may identify this issue and "PATCH" itself maybe.

Regards.

Hi Elio,

I am glad that a workaround is possible for your case. I am sorry to say, but I cannot provide a better answer since I do not know how to reproduce this issue, so I cannot debug it and see what is going on. If you open a support ticket and send us a simple, runnable demo where we can observe this behavior we will be able to provide a more accurate answer. If it is indeed an issue with our controls we will gladly reward your findings with some Telerik points.
