[Solved] Forward 1 View and Browser Back Button

[Barry]

We have a RadCalendar implemented on a web site which is exhibiting unexpected and undesirable behavior when combining the browser back button and the RadCalendar Forward 1 View button on the control. The problem occurs in both IE and Firefox.  We are using IE version 7.0.5730.13 and Firefox version 3.0.10.

To see the issue, go to our staging/test version at:




http://204.255.139.168/CIED_Conference_Tool/

There is a RadCalendar near the bottom of the page.  Don't click on a calendar yet, but select an Event from the drop-down just above it.  Select "Testing 50005".  You will be sent to the default Event page.

Now click the browser Back Button.  Now, click the Forward 1 View button (the right arrow image just to the right of the Month/Year display in the RadCalendar header).

Instead of switching the calendar to the next month it instead forwards you to the page you were just at.

This is very strange since the Forward 1 View works fine if the Back Button is never used.

The markup for the Calendar is:

<telerik:RadCalendar ID="RadCalendar1" Skin="Inox" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" OnSelectionChanged="SelectedDateChange" OnDefaultViewChanged="NavigationChanged" EnableMultiSelect="False" SelectedDate="" ShowRowHeaders="False" width="231px">
            <CalendarDayTemplates>
                <telerik:DayTemplate ID="dayTemplate1">
                    <Content>
                        <asp:Label id="lblDay1" runat="server" Text="Event Day!" />
                    </Content>

                 <telerik:DayTemplate ID="dayTemplate2">
                    <Content>
                        <asp:Label id="lblDay2" runat="server" Text="Event Day!" />

                 <telerik:DayTemplate ID="dayTemplate4">

                    </Content>

                </telerik:DayTemplate>
            </CalendarDayTemplates>

The only code-behind we have is for the server-side event "SelectedDateChange":

protected void SelectedDateChange(object sender, SelectedDatesEventArgs e)
        {
            
            Label8.Visible = true;
            Label8.Text = "Event Info:" + "<br />";
            for (int i = 0; i < e.SelectedDates.Count; i++)
            {
                _date = (e.SelectedDates[i]).Date;                

                cgDataSet.tbl_eventDataTable dt = _eventContentAdapter.GetEventBeginDataByDate(_date);            
                if (dt.Rows.Count != 0 )
                {
                    cgDataSet.tbl_eventRow row = dt[0];

                    String eventName = row.event_name;


                    IRewriteTransform transform = new ConferenceGeneric.cgControls.cgUrlRewriting.SpaceToUnderscoreTransform();

                    //supply client name in URL for each of these anchors
                    HtmlAnchor[] anchors = { aHome, aAgenda, aRegistration, aDirections, aSecurity };
                    foreach (HtmlAnchor anchor in anchors)
                    {
                        anchor.HRef = formatWithTransformedName(anchor.HRef, transform, eventName);
                    }
                    Label12.Visible = true;
                    Label12.Text = row.event_begin_date.ToShortDateString() + "-" + row.event_end_date.ToShortDateString() + "<br />";
                    Label6.Visible = true;
                    Label6.Text = "Event Name:" + "&nbsp;" + row.event_name + "<br />";
                    Label9.Visible = true;
                    Label9.Text = "Event Location:" + "&nbsp;" + row.event_location + "<br />";
                    hl.Visible = true;
                    hl.NavigateUrl = aHome.HRef.ToString();

                    Label7.Visible = false;
  
                }
                else
                {
                    Label7.Visible = true;
                    Label7.Text = "There are no events for the selected date.";
                    Label6.Visible = false;
                    Label9.Visible = false;
                    Label8.Visible = false;
                    Label12.Visible = false;
                    hl.Visible = false;
                }
            }
 
        }

Hi Barry,

Please find attached a sample screenshot of Firefox with your sample page and Firebug examining the Response returned after your RadCalendar navigation button is pressed. You can see that a page redirect response is returned. Please double check your server-side events to make sure you haven't set RadCalendar to redirect on navigation.

Sincerely yours,
