Problem With RadFormDecorator and Login control

[Doug Rutledge]

It seems after the latest release of the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX, the ASP.NET Login control acts differently when there is a RadFormDecorator on the page.  Previously, when you enter credentials and hit the ENTER key, the form would submit by default.  After this latest release, when you hit the ENTER key nothing happens.  It seems like the RadFormDecorator does something to the Login button in the Login control that stops it from being the default button for the form.

Hello Doug,

Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention - your points were updated.

Our initial investigation shows that the problem is related to IE only - it works in all other major browsers, however at this point we cannot tell when we will be able to fix it. For the time being I would suggest the approach shown below. The idea is to set a hidden button on the page that will act like a DefaultButton and hook to its OnClientClick event:

<form id="form1"  defaultbutton="submitButton" runat="server">
    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
    </asp:ScriptManager>
    <telerik:RadFormDecorator ID="RadFormDecorator1" Visible="true" runat="server" />
    <asp:Login ID="Login1" runat="server"

     LoginButtonStyle-Width="100"
    OnAuthenticate="Login1_Authenticate">
    </asp:Login>

    <div style="display:none">
    <script>
    function submitLogin(button)
    {
        var loginButton = document.getElementById("<%= Login1.ClientID %>_LoginButton");
        loginButton.click();
        return false;
    }
    </script>
    <asp:Button ID="submitButton" runat="server" OnClientClick="return submitLogin(this);"
    text="Click me"/>
    </div>

I hope this helps.

Thank you for the quick reply.  Your work around worked after making one minor adjustment.  I had to add an ASP Panel control around the login control and hidden button and set the DefaultButton property to the hidden button.

Thanks for the help.

Is this fixed in any version yet? Just curious.

Hi Ravi,

No, the problem still exists. We still haven't found a solution from our side.

For those searching, I have found a much simpler way of working around this issue.  Stick this in the page_load event:

 

 

 

Page.Form.DefaultButton = Login1.FindControl("LoginButton").UniqueID;

Any other better resolution to this issue listed here.  I am experiencing the same issue with IE 8.

Did you try adding

Page.Form.DefaultButton = Login1.FindControl("LoginButton").UniqueID;

to page_load?  It works in IE8 for me.

This worked for me.  Thanks.

Thanks for posting this work around, I spent a few hours thinking I had set something up incorrectly before I located this post.  It worked for me also.  I am working on a site using adding the Login Control to Community Edition Sitefinity 3.7.2057.3.
