[Solved] Firefox Reloads Content After Minimise/Restore

[Andy]

When a RadWindow is minimised and/or restored in Firefox, the content of the RadWindow is fully re-loaded. This means that, when an aspx page is being used as the content URL, all parameters that the user has entered into fields on the web-form in the RadWindow are discarded.

In IE browsers, the content page is not re-loaded and, therefore, the user can minimise and restore the RadWindow without losing any data.

Is there any workaround/fix for this problem?

Hello Andy,

This is a default browser's behavior - when an IFRAME is moved in the DOM, Firefox reloads it. I am afraid that at this point we don't have a workaround for it (other than disabling the Minimize option by using the Behaviors property of course).

All the best,

Hi Georgi,

Many thanks for your help. I have disabled the minimise button in non-IE browsers, as you advise.

For interest of others users, this is the code that I have used:

            if (!$.browser.msie || ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version <= 6)){
                //Minimise & Restore cause a reload in non-IE browsers, so disable those buttons.
                //Styling when minimised is poor in IE6, so disable minimise in IE6 too.
                win.set_behaviors(
                    Telerik.Web.UI.WindowBehaviors.Resize +
                    Telerik.Web.UI.WindowBehaviors.Maximize +
                    Telerik.Web.UI.WindowBehaviors.Reload +
                    Telerik.Web.UI.WindowBehaviors.Move +
                    Telerik.Web.UI.WindowBehaviors.Close
                );
            }
