I have a tabstrip that is aligned right which works fine but when I enable ScrollChildren the Align=Right is ignored. In fact any type of alignment is ignored. It works fine in FF3 but IE8 it does not work. Is there a solution to fix the alignment with scollchildren enabled?

Please let me know if there is anything else needed.

Here is more simplified version. I created a new page.

It has the following problems:

1. It does not align "right" in IE8, IE7.
2. It does align "right" in FF3 and Chrome but it does not scroll, although the scroll buttons show.

    
            <form id="form1" runat="server">  
        
                <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="ScriptManager" runat="server" /> 
        
                        <telerik:RadTabStrip ID="RadTabStrip1" runat="server" ScrollChildren="true" 
        
                            SelectedIndex="0" ScrollButtonsPosition="Middle" Align="Right">  
        
                            <Tabs> 
        
                                <telerik:RadTab Text="Advanced">  
        
                                </telerik:RadTab> 
        
                                <telerik:RadTab Text="Automatic Updates">  
        
                                </telerik:RadTab> 
        
                                <telerik:RadTab Text="Remote">  
        
                                </telerik:RadTab> 
        
                                <telerik:RadTab Text="General">  
        
                                </telerik:RadTab> 
        
                                <telerik:RadTab Text="Computer Name">  
        
                                </telerik:RadTab> 
        
                                <telerik:RadTab Text="Hardware">  
        
                                </telerik:RadTab> 
        
                                <telerik:RadTab Text="System Restore">  
        
                                </telerik:RadTab> 
        
                            </Tabs> 
        
                        </telerik:RadTabStrip> 
        
                </form>

Hello Jay O'Brien,

I suggest you replace Align property with style="float: right" like this:

<telerik:RadTabStrip ID="RadTabStrip1" runat="server" ScrollChildren="true" SelectedIndex="0"

ScrollButtonsPosition="Middle" Width="300px" Style="float: right">

<Tabs>

<telerik:RadTab Text="Advanced">

</telerik:RadTab>

<telerik:RadTab Text="Automatic Updates">

</telerik:RadTab>

<telerik:RadTab Text="Remote">

</telerik:RadTab>

<telerik:RadTab Text="General">

</telerik:RadTab>

<telerik:RadTab Text="Computer Name">

</telerik:RadTab>

<telerik:RadTab Text="Hardware">

</telerik:RadTab>

<telerik:RadTab Text="System Restore">

</telerik:RadTab>

</Tabs>

</telerik:RadTabStrip>

Thank you for the reply but unfortunately that did not fix the problem. If you will notice I am not using a width in the tabstrip. Which allows the tabstrip to expand the full width of the window. This is the same if I set the width to 100%.

The alignment works fine if scrolling is turned off.

Please advise.

Hello Jay O'Brien,

Actually right alignment is not supported in such scenarios because the width of the list element which contains the tabs is very big (this is done in order to support scrolling ). You should either set static Width of the tabstrip or avoid using scrolling.

Best wishes,
