Radwindow issue on IE 8

[Michael]

 Hi, i am having an issue on Radwindow when using IE 8 browser.  I have an RadDatepicker within the window, Everytime the page loaded within the radwindow, the calendar will become blank but i could still pick the date from calendar. I also tried the on different browser (firefox, chrome..) the rest work pretty well. So is this an issue on IE 8 ? and anything i could  do to avoid this ? thank you

Hello Michael,

This is not an issue we have observed before and the following markup works fine with me:

<telerik:RadWindow runat="server" ID="rw1" OpenerElementID="Button1">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <telerik:RadDatePicker runat="server" ID="rdp1"></telerik:RadDatePicker>
    </ContentTemplate>
</telerik:RadWindow>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" Text="open the RadWindow" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="Button2" Text="reload the page" OnClientClick="window.location.reload(); return false;" runat="server" />

Is this your case or am I missing something?

In case you are using AJAX I advise that you follow the guidelines from this help article: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/window-ajaxifying.html. If this does not help either could you post the markup that is causing the problem with you so we can actually take a look at the problem?

i still having the same issue, now it even happen in the demo site

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/window/examples/dialogreturnvalue/defaultcs.aspx

if i open this page on IE 8, the popup calendar would not even appear at all and the city button does not work as well. i don't know if it is the IE 8 issue, my current IE 8 version is 8.0.7601.17514. It looks like something wrong in IE 8 because everything goes well when i switch to firefox or chrome

Hi Michael,

The demo's issue is related to a bug in RadFormDecorator and RadInputs/datepickers. It has been fixed and the demo itself will behave properly in the next release that is due in December (the Q3 2012 SP1). The problem is that there is a JavaScript error thrown under IE8 which prevents functionality from executing.

What you can do until an official update is available is to set the EnableRoundedCorners property of the RadFormDecorator on your page to false. Or simply use the latest internal builds where this issue is not present.
