artisteer skin behavior with my Telerik feature

I am having a wierd problem with my artisteer (2.4 and 2.5) skin borders dissappearing when I populate my Telerik DataGrids in my managers application feature.

See the before and after picture here on my site <<

I do not have this problem with regular mojo skins, just Artisteer skins.

I have read and followed How to make mojoPortal skins using Artisteer 2.4 and just can't seem to figure this out.

Does anyone have any idea what this may be?

Going out of town for 4 days now. Will check back then.

Thanks

Re: artisteer skin behavior with my Telerik feature

possibly the controls are adding css or javascript that interferes with css and javscript used by the artisteer skin. You'll have to use Firebug or something to find out what is going on in the markup after the page is rendered and javascript runs. See what is different on a page with and without the grid control. You may also need to read up on the documentation from Telerik to trouble shoot this.

Re: artisteer skin behavior with my Telerik feature

I have not had time to work on this to much yet, BUT. My boss said it works fine in IE7.

I use IE8 on windows 7 and just found out I can use IE8 to render IE7 by doing this inside Internet Explorer 8 (as the 7 rendering engine is bundled with 8)

1) Open IE8
2) Open >Tools >Developer Tools
3) Switch Browser Mode to IE7 and Document Mode to IE7

After doing this the Artisteer skins render fine in mojoPortal with Telerik controls.

So, The newer IE8 and FF 3.6.8 show the problem.

With IE7 rendering ok now, this will hopefully help me compare the markup from IE7 to IE8 and narrow the problem down.

Re: artisteer skin behavior with my Telerik feature

Hi Rick,

fyi, you can make IE 8 use IE7 compatibility mode by adding this meta element to the head in layout.master

in fact, if you look in the page.html exported by Artisteer you will see it has this, so really I should probably have that in the included skins except I didn't notice any IE 8 issues without it.

Don't know about a solution for FF 3.6.8 though

Best,

Joe

Did you narrow this problem down Rick - as I am experiencing something similar. My radscheduler works fine in IE8 but not FF using a Artisteer skin.

Re: artisteer skin behavior with my Telerik feature

I have used Joe's advice above to get it to work fine on IE7 and IE8

use compatibility mode by adding this meta element to the head in layout.master

However, I can not get it to work in Firefox. I am 99% sure this is an Artisteer problem. In about 7 weeks Artisteer V3 will be out. Maybe it will work then, but I doubt it.

I have not yet tried IE 9 beta here
