After a lot of searching and hair pulling I have tracked down what seems to be a real deal breaker issue with a lot of rad controls especially radgrid, sorry for the vagueness of this post but it has been a long few days of deadlines :)

When using IE11 preview to view sites with enablepostbackonrowclick set on a radgrid - clicking on the rows does not work and rather raises a hidden away JavaScript error of: if($telerik.isIE){document.attachEvent("onmousedown",this._onDocumentClickDelegate);

The problem is particular to IE11 and it is not just related to it being in preview.

It is discussed at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/ms536343(v=vs.85).aspx

In this post it says:

attachEvent method

[attachEvent is no longer supported. Starting with Internet Explorer 11 Preview, use addEventListener. For info, see Compatibility changes.]

Binds the specified function to an event, so that the function gets called whenever the event fires on the object.

So it seems that until there is an update to the core way rad controls handle mouse clicks they will not work even on IE final.

Hello,

When the page loads we see the javascript error from the original post.

IIS 7
IE 11.0.9600.16428 RTM (KB2841134)
Telerik 2013.3.1015.45

.NET Framework 4.5 is installed on the server.

If needed, i can coordinate access to the site.

Thanks,
Bill

[Edit] The problem does not occur in compatibility mode.

Hello,

@Bill - Please verify whether the sample problem is reproduced with the latest version of our controls 2013.Q3.1114. If you still experience the same problem after the upgrade, please clarify which controls you are using.

Hi Dimitar,

I have updated the libraries to 2013.3.1114.40 and the AttachEvent error no longer occurs. However....

We have several custom buttons and dialogs that we have added to the editor. While the AttachEvent error no longer occurs, we are still getting the error shown in the attached image (null ref on d.open(....) when clicking on a button that should bring up a custom dialog. The error does not occur in compatibility mode or on other browsers. Nor does it occur for the stock popup dialogs (Link manager, image map editor, etc).

Thanks,
Bill
