[Solved] Grid not rendering correctly with IE 8

[Colan]

Grid with a hidden column renders correctly with Firefox, does not render correctly with IE 8.

<% Html.Telerik().Grid<GridT2Controller.GridClass2>()
           .Name("Grid1")
           .DataKeys(x=> x.Add(y=> y.Column1))
           .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select("GridData", "GridTest"))
           .Scrollable(x => x.Height(100))
          
           .Columns(col =>
                        {
                            col.Bound(c => c.Column1).Hidden(true);
                            col.Bound(c => c.Column2);
                            col.Bound(c => c.Column3);
                            col.Bound(c => c.Column4);
                        })
                        .Render()
       ;


%>

In both browsers the column headings are rendered as expected - columns 2 through 4.  And Firefox renders the data rows as expected, for example row1column2, row1column3...  IE 8 skips the column 2 data and renders the column 3 data under the heading for column 2. Using IE 8's developer tools (f12) it can be seen that the data is being sent to the browser.

Hello Colan,

 Unfortunately this is one of those IE quirks... The only solution that we know of is to put the hidden column last:

<% Html.Telerik().Grid<GridT2Controller.GridClass2>()
       .Name("Grid1")
       .DataKeys(x=> x.Add(y=> y.Column1))
       .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select("GridData", "GridTest"))
       .Scrollable(x => x.Height(100))

       .Columns(col =>
        {
            col.Bound(c => c.Column2);
            col.Bound(c => c.Column3);
            col.Bound(c => c.Column4);
            col.Bound(c => c.Column1).Hidden(true);
        })
        .Render();
%>

Hi,

Was there a resolution or workaround to this quirk as of the last release Q2.712? It's still happenening in IE and it's a major bug given the hidden columns are almost always used when immutable database table keys are used.

Hello Kev,

For the time being, our sole recommendation is to place hidden columns last.
