Window placement

[Anders Mad.]

Problem: When a RadWindow is added to the document/form using the "open" method it is added as the last element. If any element above is floating relative the dragging and placement is obscure.

Solution: Add the element as the first child (or maybe provide an option to do so?).

Fix: I have fixed this by now doing this:

// Override
Telerik.Web.UI.RadWindow.prototype._addWindowToDocument = function() {
    var theForm = document.getElementById(this._formID);
    if (!theForm)
        theForm = document.forms[0];
    theForm.insertBefore(this._popupElement, theForm.firstChild);
};

Hello Anders,

There are certain reasons because of which a new window is currently added as the last element on the page. However, in the scenario you described it is indeed better to be added as the first element. We will test your approach and if no side effect are discovered, we will integrate this change into the RadWindow code.

Thank you for sharing this scenario with us.

All the best,
Tervel
