RadNumericTextBox - Point on numeric keyboard not functioning in MS IE9

[Pieter]

We use RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX version 2011.2.712. And we think the point (.) on the numeric keyboard isn't functioning correctly in MS IE 9 for the RadNumericTextBox.

We use the following markup for the control.

 

<telerik:RadNumericTextBox id="tbVanKm" runat="server" Width="150px" 
    MaxLength="10"  NumberFormat-GroupSeparator=""  
    NumberFormat-DecimalSeparator="." NumberFormat-DecimalDigits="3" 
    Culture="Dutch (Netherlands)">

    <ClientEvents OnError="onError" > </ClientEvents>

</telerik:RadNumericTextBox>

Hello Pieter,

It seems to be a bug inside the RadNumericTextBox. Actually it is caused because the IE9 does not support the fireEvent function anymore but start to support dispatchEvent function of the elements.

Generally because the attributes in the argument of keydown event are read only. The event is canceled when numeric pad enters different sign (the decimal separator of the numeric pad can be dot or comma depending on the cultural settings) and then new event with the corrected keyCode is fired. And this is where the current code fails because the IE9 still has element.fireEvent function and our code uses it, but the function does not work.

Our developers are aware of this bug and they will fix it.

We to are seeing some issue with the point (.) on the numeric keyboard and IE9.

Version 1011.3.1115.35

We can enter an intial value of .25 in the text box and it seems to work, tab out of the field, the tab back to the field and enter .25 we get 25.0.

Hello Dennis,

Make sure that the DecimalSeparator and the GroupSeparator of theNumberFormat for the RadNumericTextBox are different.
You could have this issue, if the separators are the same "." If this is not the case, please post the declaration of your input to test it locally here.

The group seperator and the Decimal Seperator being different seem to make no difference, which I'd already tried prior to posting.

Here is my declaration.

<telerik:RadNumericTextBox ID="txtStaticPressure" runat="server" CausesValidation="true"
 Width="40px" NumberFormat-DecimalDigits="3" SelectionOnFocus="SelectAll" MinValue="0"
 NumberFormat-GroupSeparator="," NumberFormat-DecimalSeparator="." CssClass="TextAlignRight"></telerik:RadNumericTextBox>

Hello Dennis,

I tested your exact code with 2011.3.1115.35 version in IE9 using the decimal point from the numpad and it still works as expected here. If I enter .25 and tab away I get 0.250 and if then focus it still stays 0.25
What is the culture applied in your page? Could you also test with the latest version of the controls and see if it will make a difference.

The value doesn't change when the control gains focus again, after you have entered .25 tab out, tab back to it, and try to re-enter .25 using the (.) on the numer keypad. 
The value displayed is 25.

However you can enter 0.25 and it will accept it that way.

I've just installed the latest version 2011.3.1305.35 and this issue still occurs.

Hi Susanne,

This issue is already fixed. It should work correct if you download the latest internal build.
