RadDecorator not decorating zone

[robertw102]

I'm using the latest version of the controls .

Here's the setup. I have a RadFormDecorator on my Master Page and have it set to only decorate controls that within a certain zone. Now this worked on one of my pages, but on this one it didn't.

Below is the page markup:

 <div id="WebBlueZone" style="padding: 20px 5px;">
        <div style="padding-bottom: 15px; text-align: left;" class="PropertyHeaderBlueText">
            Property Inquiry
        </div>
        <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="tablePaddingAll">
            <tr>
                <td style="width: 22%">
                    Check In Date:
                </td>
                <td style="width: 78%">
                    <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="dpCheckInDate" runat="server" SharedCalendarID="calShared">
                        <Calendar UseColumnHeadersAsSelectors="False" UseRowHeadersAsSelectors="False" ViewSelectorText="x">
                        </Calendar>
                        <DatePopupButton HoverImageUrl="" ImageUrl="" />
                    </telerik:RadDatePicker>
                    <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="reqCheckInDate" runat="server" ControlToValidate="dpCheckInDate"
                        Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="Required" ValidationGroup="SubmitInquiry"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td style="width: 22%">
                    Check Out Date:
                </td>
                <td style="width: 78%">
                    <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="dpCheckOutDate" runat="server" SharedCalendarID="calShared">

                    </telerik:RadDatePicker>
                    <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="reqCheckOutDate" runat="server" ControlToValidate="dpCheckOutDate"

                        Width="400px">

                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td colspan="2">
                    <asp:CheckBox ID="chkRequestReservervation" runat="server" Text="If you wish to request a reservation please check here." />
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td colspan="2" style="padding-top: 10px;">
                    <asp:Button ID="btnSubmitInquiry" runat="server" Text="Submit Inquiry" ValidationGroup="SubmitInquiry" />
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </div>
    <telerik:RadCalendar ID="calShared" runat="server" ShowOtherMonthsDays="False" ShowRowHeaders="False"
        UseColumnHeadersAsSelectors="False" UseRowHeadersAsSelectors="False">
    </telerik:RadCalendar>

Now it should be decorating the checkboxes and buttons, but for some reason it's not doing that.

Here's the FormDecorator setup on my master page:

<telerik:RadFormDecorator ID="RadFormDecorator1" runat="server" Skin="WebBlue" DecoratedControls="Zone"
            EnableRoundedCorners="False" DecorationZoneID="WebBlueZone" />

Do you notice any problem on my page that is preventing the control from being decorated?

Ok, I've noticed something about the post I made before. It seems that if I just have DecoratedControls="Zone", then only the Zone with the DecorationZoneID="WebBlueZone" is the only element who gets a class added to it, but it's controls aren't decorated.

If I change the DecoratedControls collection to, DecoratedControls="CheckBoxes, RadioButtons, Buttons, Textbox, Textarea", then the area where I set the zone id gets the respective controls decorated. So I solved my own problem, but I also found another problem with the RadFormDecorator control.

It seems if I don't have an element on the form with the ZoneID set, it seems to break all the controls, be it a RadControl or just a normal HTML element. So if you change the line, <div id="WebBlueZone" - to - <div id="WebBlueZone2" (which doesn't exist), all the controls on the page will break. I get the same effect if I remove, id="WebBlueZone", from the page altogether.

If you could test this out on your side and see if I've done something wrong.

Hello robertw102,

Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention. We investigated the case and we recognize this as a bug on our side. We will do our best to have it fixed for the service pack in 2 weeks.

For the time being I suggest to put a hidden div with such ID (same as the one set in the DecorationZoneID) on the pages where you don't have such zone declared.

Your points were updated.

All the best,

I've just noticed that the behavior I mentioned before about the RadFormDecorator breaking the RadControls when the zone id is not on the page has reappeared again in the latest version of the controls 2009.2.826.35. This problem was fixed in the other versions I used for .NET 2.0 after I reported the problem, but it occurs in this version, which is the .NET 3.5 one.

If you could see if this behavior happens to you as well.

Thanks.

Hi robertw102,

Yes, we are still working on this - thank you for your patience. The problem should be fixed in the Q3 release next week.
