RadConfirm problem Firefox 5.0

[Pardon Jonathan]

I'm using RadConfirm on a linkbutton to confirm a delete action. Since firefox 5.0 the button doesnt seem to continue the delete event untill i click it a second time. So first it shows the confirm, if I click ok, it does nothing untill i the linkbutton again. On older versions of firefox (havent tested 4.0) , IE or safari no problem..

I'm using the 2010 Q3 release.

I took the telerik examples and changed the button in the example into a linkbutton and noticed that it also stopped working on firefox 5.0.
Is there a workaround for this problem?

Thanks
Jonathan

Hello Jonathan,

I would like to note first that you are using a version of our controls that has been released before the browser you are using, so some issues may arise between them due to some changes in the browser behavior.

I am not sure for the way you are trying to confirm the click (postback), but I can assume that you are using the following CL article: http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-ajax/window/block-the-execution-thread-with-radconfirm.aspx. Please note that this approach is outdated and has been developed for older framework and controls versions that are no longer supported. Therefore I would recommend that you examine the approach illustrated in this post that is more recent and is the way I currently recommend to confirm such clicks: http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-ajax/window/block-the-execution-thread-with-radconfirm.aspx#1701380.


Kind regards,

Thanks Marin,

Your right about the old version, we are about to renew our lincense.  But still, the thought that I have to update all the websites I'm using the radconfirm in, is a bit scary! Browser behaviour changes are no fun !
I prefer updating the javascript above updating the telerik components, less time taking.

The javascript code i originally used is exactly the same as the one that is still present in the online demo's, think it would be best if this is reviewed?

The problem is solved with the code you provided, I just had to change it a bit so it works for linkbuttons inside a web user control.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
    function blockConfirm(message,windowtitle, clickedButton) {
        function confirmHandler(args) {
            if (args == true) {
                __doPostBack(clickedButton.id.replace(/_/g, '$'), "");
            }
        }
        radconfirm(message, confirmHandler, 250, 100, null, windowtitle)

        return false;
    }

//-->
</script>

Kind regards,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

I am glad to hear that you managed to get this functionality working :)

I agree with you that browser changes tend to take us a lot of time, yet they seem inevitable nowadays. You are also correct that the onilne demo is outdated and this will be fixed with the Q2 2011 SP1 release.


All the best,
