changing the width property or the DateInput-Width property as no effect under safari !

i'm using the dll version  2007.3.1314.35

The same problem occurs in Safari 3.0.4 as well. This is observed with the classic calendar too:

Looks like a rendering bug to me.

However, it occurs in Safari only. Looks good in IE, Firefox, even Opera.

Best

Hello we just recently purchased the Dev version of promethius controls and I am experiencing some rendering issues as well in Safari. When we purchased it, they sent us a zip for the promethius controls AND a hotfix zip. forgive the ignorance of this question but once i install the main dlls, what is the best way to apply the hotfix? Just swap out the dll's?

[Michael]

ok, just to follow up...I found some hotfix installation instructions. Basically I swapped out the App_Data, App_GlobalResources, bin, and bin35 directories in my telerik 'program files' folder. I also updated the references to the dll's in my web project and I still get the rendering error for the datpickers in  Saafari. setting the width or dateinput width has no effect.

Hi Michael,

The latest official version of the control that you probably received when you bought a license exhibits the problematic behavior in Safari. The trial version attached to this thread was released shortly after the official release and it fixes the appearance issue. Please open a formal support ticket and request for the dev version of this hotfix as we cannot attach it in the public forums.

Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.


Sincerely yours,

Somes of my user report me a bug with the raddatepicker.
This bug is only with Mac/Safari, it works fine with PC/safari , Mac/Firefox, PC/IE or PC/Firefox
I have never seen this bug myself  because i have no Mac !

My page has 10 DatePicker (required) with a shared calendar.
The user fill a datepicker and  click to validate the page, the date in the datepicker is removed and the user can't validate the page !

Hi o.courtois,

Can you verify that this happens with the latest version of the control? RadDatePicker will clear its date only if it cannot parse it i.e it is not valid. To avoid such occurrences, you can set the ReadOnly property of the DateInput part of the picker to true and this way users would be forced to use the calendar popup.

Was this really fixed? I am also having a safari issues. In Safari when I use the RadDatePicker it is significantly larger (specifically the textbox) than in FF or IE. Why is that? Also for all browsers i would like to make the textbox width smaller than the default size. How do you do that? It seems to ignore the width property when I set it. It has enough room in it for 2 dates.


I am using:
Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2008.2.826.35
.NET 3.5
Safari 3.1

Skin file:
<telerik:RadDatePicker Skin="WebBlue" runat="server">
      <Calendar></Calendar>
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

aspx:
<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="DepDate" runat="server"/>

Hello Jeremy,

I just performed some testing and the RadDatePicker seems to be working as expected under Safari. The default width looks identical under the different browsers (screenshot attached). I was also able to change it using the Width property and it worked just fine under Safari.

All the best,

Thank you for the feedback. yours do look the same. So I looked into it further and it is the RadPanelBar causing the problem. Must be getting some style from it I guess. So how do I fix that and how do I overwrite the width?


<telerik:RadPanelBar ID="FareRadPanelBar" Skin="WebBlue" runat="server" Width="100%"ExpandMode="MultipleExpandedItems">
<Items>
   <telerik:RadPanelItem Text="Search" Expanded="true">
      <Items>
       <telerik:RadPanelItem>
       <ItemTemplate>
       <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="DepDate" runat="server"/><br/>&nbsp;
       </ItemTemplate>
       </telerik:RadPanelItem>
   </Items>
   </telerik:RadPanelItem>
   <telerik:RadPanelItem Text="Results"/>
</Items>
</telerik:RadPanelBar>

Hi jgig,

We tried to reproduce the reported issue on our side using the latest internal build of the controls, but to no avail. Please refer to the attached screenshots for details and the latest internal build. Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
