[Solved] FireFox DatePicker?

[cli]

Is the Popup Calendar broken for FireFox in the DatePicker control?  It seems to work in IE.  Do I have a bad install/config?  I have the classic RadControls running in the same app.  I also had promethus running and upgraded it to the latest RadControls.  Other controls in this new version seem to work fine.  I've always used the DatePicker from classic (which works in firefox & ie) but now trying to upgrade my whole app to the latest RadControls.  However, if the Popup Calendar is busted in FireFox I can't overhaul to the latest RadControls :/.

[cli]

Is this a possible bug?  To set a global skin I've put this in my web.config file

<add key="Telerik.Skin" value="WebBlue">

Other controls pick up this default as long as I don't set the Skin attribute.  However, the DatePicker control breaks.  It will take the Skin look but the popup calendar doesn't work.

Setting the skin explicitly on the DatePicker control is a work around.

Hi cli,

Indeed this seems to be a bug with the RadDatePicker control under Firefox. I have logged it in our bug tracking system and our developers will take care of it. As a token of gratitude for bringing this problem to our attention I have also updated your Telerik points.

Ran into similar issues with the web.config settings myself.  Another workaround is to set the skin inside of a skin file.  I tested in IE and FF and this works for me.  At least it's centralized in one place.

<telerik:RadDatePicker runat="server" Skin="Vista">
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

It's now August 2008.  Has this been taken care of yet?  If so, please post the specific fix.  If not, please let us know when it will be fixed.  FireFox carries over 20% of our users and this is unacceptable.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Hi Christopher,

Unfortunately our developers did not manage to fix this bug. Please excuse us for the inconvenience and set the skin explicitly for the RadDatePicker controls, until we are able to resolve it.

Sincerely yours,

Is this still considered an outstanding issue in 2009.1.402.35 with FF?
Using FF 3.0.8, when form appears and clicking on the pop up button, nothing happens.
If I do some other operation that causes AJAX postback to occur, then the calendar pop up button works.

                    <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="dtePeriodEndDt" Runat="server" Skin="WebBlue" TabIndex="10"
                        Font-Size="X-Small" style="height: 18px; width: 100px; left: 413px; top: 88px; position: absolute;" >
                         <Calendar ID="CalendarPeriodEndDt" ShowRowHeaders="False" runat="server" TabIndex="-1"
                            UseColumnHeadersAsSelectors="False" UseRowHeadersAsSelectors="False"
                            ViewSelectorText="x">
                        </Calendar>
                        <DatePopupButton TabIndex="11"/>
                    </telerik:RadDatePicker>

Just wanted to say I haven't had a problem w/ the DatePicker skins since the inital fix.  2009.1 311 is working for me.  I didn't even realize IE8 support was out.  I'll try it later today since I was looking forward to this support.  Hopefully doesn't break anything :).

Well, I can confirm on my end RadDatePicker calendar pop up works w/  2009.1.402.35 w/ FF 3.0.8 and <add key="Telerik.Skin" value="WebBlue" /> in my web.config file.  Now I don't do anything special in my date picker controls.  Just drag them from the toolbox.  Perhaps your problem is related to the css styling?  I didn't even know you could do a "style" attribute.  I thought you had to define a class and use the CssClass attribute.  Have you tried just making a blank form w/ only the RadDatePicker control then slowly add pieces of your styling?
