RadAlert causes makes page controls unaccessible in IE

[Philipp Becker]

Hi,

I have a radalert as a confirmation message / error message popup in a usercontrol.  The alert is fired from codebehind via

Me.ctlAjax.ResponseScripts.Add("ModuleMessage('" & strMessage & "');return false;")

which then fires

function ModuleMessage(msg)
{
     radalert(msg);
}

the js part is wrapped in a RadScriptBlock, ctlAjax is a RadAjaxManager.

This is alsmost working as expected. The issue is that in IE (7 & 8), after the OK button has been clicked, textbox controls on the page cannot be accessed, e.g. cannot receive focus (neither from js nor by clicking in them) until I click on another control like a combox or so on the page. This does not happen in Firefox.

is this a know issue? Can I somehow work around this? What I tried so far is the hook into the add_close event of the alertbox and force focus on any of the textboxes, but this throws a textbox-cannot-receive-focus-because-it-is-not-accessible exception.

Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

In case it matters, other controls on the page include a radcombobox, a checkable radtreeview, radformdecorator, radiobuttonlist, checkboxes, radtextboxes and a raddatetimepicker.

Hi Philipp,

I was not able to reproduce the problem locally and I don't recall this problem being reported before. Could you please open a support ticket and send me a small sample application where this issue could be reproduced? I will check it right away.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.


All the best,

I stripped down my control to setup a small sample for you and the issue went away. I'll have to re-add functionality step by step so I can tell what part exactly causes the my issue.

OK Philipp,

If you manage to isolate the problem, please send the project to me and I will check it.
