TileList updates itself after the scripts has been loaded

[Ned]

There are some javascripts in my page that are located under TileList control. When I visit the page:

1- TileList is loaded. Each tile has a specific location
2- Scripts are loaded
3- TileList is refreshed. Tile locations are changed

How do I prevent TileList to be refreshed?

Hello Nedim,

RadTileList determines the tiles positions in the available rows and columns on the client, after the HTML renders. With many tiles and a slow browser, you could notice a rearrangement of the tiles when the page loads.

If this is not what you see, please explain the case in more detail. It would also help if you add a video that shows the problem and the code that leads to it.

Also, if the custom scripts you have are what causes the tileList to repaing, please examine them and see if they are needed.

Yes, this is the problem I run into.

Here is a video. I'm refreshing the page two times in this video. You can see how the positions are changed:

High level view of the code in my ASPX page is this:
<telerik:RadTileList>
<telerik:RadTabStrip>
<script src=...> Many scripts here

Hello Nedim,

The video does not really add much useful information so at this point I can only suggest the following:

• set a Height to the TileList that will accommodate the desired number of rows
• you can also try setting the TileRows property to the desired value in the markup to see if this helps

Another approach you can take is to use standalone tiles instead of a TileList. They ares simple div elements with float: left and display: inline-block so they can fit your design easily. Without the TileList, they will not rearrange themselves.
