Odd behavior

David posted over 14 years ago

I have a couple of WebTextEdit controls in a page. The page is in a nested master page. site1.master is the main master page, nestedmasterpage3.master is the in site1.master. The page of interested is in nestedmasterpage3.master. The controls of interest are in an UpdatePanel with UpdatMode as Conditional and ChildrenAsTriggers set to true. The controls have AutoPostBack set to true. Each control has the onvaluechange set to a handler although for testing this issue the handler does nothing. I start the web app and go to the page. I then quickly type something into the first field, tab to the next, type in it, tab to the next and find that the text I type is backwards. That is, if I want Calgary I get yraglaC as I type. I have no idea what is happening here. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

I believe I am seeing the same bug when using IE7 (7.0.6001.18000) and Infragistics v10.1. I am unable to reproduce this in Firefox.

I haven't been able to reduce the bug down to a simple test-case, but have dug around in the code a little. As far as I can tell, this behaviour is caused due to an exception thrown in the getSelectedText function in ig_edit.js. At line 1530, the code

var sel=document.selection.createRange();

triggers the exception "Could not complete the operation due to error 800a025e". This results in the values 'sel0' and 'sel1' (which appear to store the start/end positions of the selected text) both being set to zero. Each new character is inserted at this position, resulting in 'backwards' text.

Google doesn't shed much light on this error code, but it certainly looks IE-specific.

The following links may provide some pointers:

Hi,

If you can create a simple website which reproduces that behavior, then you may submit a report at http://ko.infragistics.com/support/ask-for-help.aspx.

You also may use Options tab to attach that zipped website.
