Greetings all
Our company has been a longtime user of Telerik controls for web development. Historically we have been an IE shop, and IE9 has been a mainstay version for most homegrown web apps.
I have been asked to take a look at a couple of legacy web apps that work well with IE9, but have serious grid display issues with IE11 and Chrome. The grid issues are multiple, but revolve around the grid not expanding to accomodate data rows, although data is present. In other words, the top and bottom bars of the grid are almost on top of each other, with a thin view of data shown between.
I am not a web developer, but have discovered that the two apps in question are vanilla aspx applications in .Net 4.0 using c#. Both use Telerik Web UI controls from Q2 2011. Before I start down a path trying to learn older technology to determine why it conflicts with newer browsers, I thought I would check with the experts here.
Can anyone tell me if there are known gotchas with older versions of Telerik controls that do not play well with Chrome? Perhaps config settings that cause mis-behaviors in one browser and not another. Any feedback appreciated.

Hi ,
Generally we do not have a list that describes all issues, which might appear with older version of telerik controls and newer browsers. However I could ensure you that all the version of the Telerik controls are totally compatible with all browsers that has been released before the date of the RadControls release.
Therefore in order to have your apps to be fully compatible with the newer browsers I would suggest you to update them to the latest version of the controls so that we can ensure that this version is tested against those browsers and is properly functioning.

Thanks Maria
This app in question is straight aspx, without Kendo or MVC. Can you suggest which of the current Telerik ajax based offerings would be most suitable?
The original version is deployed with Q2_2011 Ajax DLLs Telerik.Web.UI, and Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.
I tried subsituting the most recent non-MVC version we have (Q2_2013) but the deployed app threw javascript errors almost immediately in IE 9 and IE 11 (both compatibiltiy mode), No difference found with Chrome.
