RadEditor dialogs rendering in weird places?

[Shane]

Hi,

This has been working perfectly up until this morning when I arrived at work. I'm the only one who has changed anything on this project for weeks.. see screenshot attached.

Its rendering itself inside a form that I have in the master page?

This happens in all browsers.. across multiple platforms.. I don't understand why it is happening :/

Regards,

Shane

I have since narrowed this down to a very strange cause.

Turns out.. if I remove the first form in the page (the search form in the master page) it works perfectly. Why would this have suddenly started happening?

This works:

@*<div id="masterPageSearchArea" style="background-image: url('/Content/styles/@Html.GetCurrentTheme()/images/masterPageSearchBackgroundImage.png');">
                        @{
                            using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Search", new { Area = "" }, FormMethod.Get, new { id = "searchForm" }))
                            {
                                @:  @Html.TextBox("query", null, new { style = Html.Raw("background-image: url('/Content/styles/default/images/masterPageSearchBoxBackgroundImage.jpg');") })
                                @:  @Html.Hidden("pagesssssss", 1)
                            }
                        }
                    </div>*@

(Notice how I've commented the entire form out..)

..I'm perplexed.

Hello Shane,

Indeed, the editor's dialogs are RadWindows and as such they are appended either to the first form element they have found or the restriction zone. That is why what I can suggest is the following:

1) Do not use multiple form tags - as you have found yourself
2) Keep the forms but set an outermost elemenet  to be a restriction zone for the RadWindow.

If you need further help, please, isolate the problem in a simple working project and send it for examination via a support ticket.
