RadDatePicker breaks on FireFox

[oferbar]

Hi,

I have an ASP.NET 2.0 web application which includes RadDatePicker.
When viewing the site with FireFox, the calender picker does not work (no popup).

I also get capture this MicrosoftAjax.js error with Firebug:

function Sys$CultureInfo$_getAbbrMonthIndex(value) {

if (!this._upperAbbrMonths) {
 this._upperAbbrMonths = this._toUpperArray(this.dateTimeFormat.AbbreviatedMonthNames);
}
return Array.indexOf(this._upperAbbrMonths, this._toUpper(value));
}

I don't know if it's related.
On IE it's working fine.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thx

Ofer Bar

Hi oferbar,

After a quick search I found that it seems to be a bug in the ASP.NET AJAX framework which should already be addressed:

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
I have seen this post.
Just to be sure, I installed and changed my web application to use the latest AJAX 3.5 Extensions preview, but the problem still happens.

I also installed FireFox 3 beta release and now I can get calendar popup, but it's pretty ugly and not well formatted.
So my guess is it's somewhere between FireFox and Telerik.

If you want a user name and password to our web site, please let me know so you can see it with your own eyes.

Many thanks

Hi oferbar,

There seem to be two workarounds for this error:

https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/Workaround.aspx?FeedbackID=277646

I assume this might be a culture-specific problem since it looks hard to be reproduced. If it is applicable in your case, try changing the page culture and see if the the error still occurs.

Other than that, it is definitely something in ASP.NET AJAX compatibility with Firefox. I'm afraid it should be fixed in the MS AJAX scripts (if it is not addressed yet), which Prometheus RadControls scripts (for good or bad) derive from.

Sincerely yours,

The link provided by Telerik above does not fix the problem.  I still get the same exact line to error out as described by oferbar.  This simple page does not run for me in firefox.  If I take off the RadContextMenu control the page runs fine.  I'm using RadControls for ASPNET AJAX Q1 2009.

Hello Ben,

We had this problem before and we fixed it. Can you try with a more recent version please (like Q3 2009 or Q1 2010)?
Our site is still not updated with the latest bits and that is why you get the error there as well.

In addition you can check this forum post.

Best wishes,
