This is the problem I am seeing, specifically with firefox - Working fine in IE8.

Scenario:

Basically I have bunch of windows (each window is displayed as maximized) and only one window is display at a time.

We have some buttons at the top of the page, to open the corresponding window. For instance:

Window1 , Window 2 , ...

when Window1 is clicked, it display Window 1 and when window2 is clicked, it ....All of this is handled in the client side javascript code...

Code:

// windowName is name of the window to be displayed
   function displayWindow (windowName) {
   var manager = GetRadWindowManager();

   var currentActiveWindow = manager.getActiveWindow();
   var current = manager.GetWindowByName(
windowName
);

   // allWindows is the array that contains all window names

   for(counter =0; counter < allWindows.length;counter++)
   {
   if(allWindows[counter] !=
windowName
)

   {
   manager.GetWindowByName(allWindows[counter]).hide(); // << Problem occurs here
   }

   }


   current.show();
   current.maximize();

Problem:

The problem seems to occur on the line I have indicated in the code. So for example, if Window1 is currently being displayed and I switch to window2, when it tries to hide window1, I see a little flicker in firefox, where I see a glimpse of window2 at the bottom and then its shown as maximized..

this solution worked for me..

// windowName is name of the window to be displayed
   function displayWindow (windowName) {
   var manager = GetRadWindowManager();

   var currentActiveWindow = manager.getActiveWindow();
   var current = manager.GetWindowByName(
windowName
);

   current.moveTo(0,0);
   current.maximize()
   current.show();

   // allWindows is the array that contains all window names

   for(counter =0; counter < allWindows.length;counter++)
   {
   if(allWindows[counter] !=
windowName
)

   {
   manager.GetWindowByName(allWindows[counter]).hide(); // << Problem occurs here
   }

   }
