[Solved] RadEditor breaks Tabstrip Skin

[Simon Laxton]

Hi.

I've got something odd going on with my project.

If my webpage consists of a tabstrip and an editor the tabstrip loses it's custom skin. The Editor is still fine though.

It only happens on pages with a tabstrip and an editor.

The controls are created in code-behind in the createchildcontrols method.

attached are some screenshots of the problem

any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks

Fixed!!!!!

I found the issue. We make use of most of the controls and currently there is a css file for each control being used. This combined with using dotnetnuke and it's css files causes some css files not to be loaded at all. In our case it was always the last control's css that was missing. therefore now styling was applied.

The workaround for this is to create Master.{skinname}.css and in that css file import all the css files for the controls being used. Register only the master css file with skinmanager and it'll pull in all the control css files.

Telerik - Could visual StyleBuilder maybe create such a css file by default ? 

Hope this helps someone else.

Hi Vinny,

I am glad you managed to find a solution yourself!

The Visual StyleBuilder tool cannot create such a CSS file but you can use RadStyleSheetManager in your application to combine the stylesheets.

Note that there are several known limitations with InternetExplorer considering styles and they are as follows:

1. You cannot register more than 31 CSS files
2. You cannot register more than 4095 classes in a single file
