[Solved] Initial position of modal window

[William]

How is the initial position of a modal window determined?  We have a site where it always opens at the top-left corner, no matter where I put the Html.Telerik().Window()....Render() code.  On http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc-beta/window?theme=vista, and in simple demos I make, it seems to try to place the window where the Render() code lives, but I'm guessing mixing in some AJAX and CSS confuses the position calculation.

Thanks.

After some hacking, I think the real question is where does the window appear IF it is initially not visible.  I am trying to use a modal window for a post-AJAX error, so I initially set .Visible(false), and then do the following Javascript if an error occurs in the AJAX call:

        var w = $('#TransferWindow').data('tWindow');
        w.open();
        w.center();

Then the window appears in the top-left - and stays there.  Seems like a bug to me.

Hello William,

We addressed a similar issue soon after the release. Please try your code with the attached build, and if the problem persists, send a sample project. That said, your code seems fine (and there is an upcoming demo that shows the same scenario of opening an initially hidden window). Just to mention it, the window methods are chainable, i.e.:
    $('#TransferWindow').data('tWindow').center().open();

All the best,

Hello,

        .OnDocumentReady(@"
            var myWindow = $('#Window');
            myWindow.data('tWindow').center().open();
        ");
}

worked for me.

Regards,
Tim
