Invalid argument jquery-1.4.3.js when opening a Window control that is set to Visible(false)

[Brad Sumner]

I’m getting the following error when trying to open a window control when Visible is set to false after upgrading to version  2010.3.1110.235 of Telerik.Web.Mvc.dll.  I was not getting the error on the previous version.  The error is ‘Invalid argument jquery-1.4.3.js, line 6489 character 21’

The jquery line is:

_default: function (fx) {
                if (fx.elem.style && fx.elem.style[fx.prop] != null) {
                    fx.elem.style[fx.prop] = (fx.prop === "width" || fx.prop === "height" ? Math.max(0, fx.now) : fx.now) + fx.unit;
                } else {
                    fx.elem[fx.prop] = fx.now;
                }
            }

The window will popup displaying the content and the javascript error is thrown.   When you close the window and re-open, the window opens but the content does not display.  If I set the window to Visible(true) and load the page the window pops up fine and you are able to open and close with the content showing up fine.

<% Html.Telerik().Window()
    .Name("Window")
    .Content(() =>
    {%>
        <p>Test Content</p>
    <%})
    .Buttons(buttons => buttons.Close())
    .Width(450)
    .Draggable(true)
    .Visible(false)
    .Render();
    %>

    <button onclick="openWindow()">Open</button>

    <script type="text/javascript">

        function openWindow() { var window = $("#Window").data("tWindow"); window.open(); }

    </script>

I’m not sure if I’m missing something simple or if this is a bug.  I’m referencing the new version and I copied the style sheets and scripts to the correct location and they are referenced correctly on the page. 

I can also duplicate the error if I set the Window to visible on page load and use HtmlAttributes
to set style="display:none" for the window.

Thanks in advance

Hello Brad Sumner,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

I confirm that it is a bug, which will be fixed with next official release of Telerik Components for ASP.NET MVC.

Attached is the modified javascript file.

I have updated your Telerik points.

Sincerely yours,
Hristo Germanov

Extremely helpful post. I thought I was doing something wrong. Thanks for the quick response with a patch.

While this seems to remove the javascript exception, it causes the dialog not to display correctly.  Nevermind about this, it was the fact that the latest change also meant you need to specify a Width() and a modal window no longer centers automatically.

Still, you should provide the NON-MINIMIZED change for those of us with custom code-bases.
