RadioButtonList, Web User Control, Firefox, IE

Hallo,

I have a radiobuttonlist control that is added on a custom Web User Control.
This control has a property that exposes the SelectedIndex property of the
embedded radiobuttonlist.

When running this in IE, behaviour is as I would expect it. If I select an
item and do a postback, the page remembers my selection when reloading, and
the SelectedIndex property of my control returns the correct value.

When running this in Firefox 3, I always get a -1 for the SelectedIndex
prop, and the page does not remember my selection when reloading.

If I add a radiobuttonlist directly on to an ASPX page, behaviour is as
expected. Only fails in Firefox when the control is on a custom Web User
Control.

Below I will paste the aspx, ascx, and their respective code behind files.
..Net Framework 3.5. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
Paul

its a bug in IE, it should send -1 also.

you are loading the user control too late in the page lifecycle, so that it
does not exist when postback data is applied. the proper place to load
dynamic controls is in the CreateChildControls method (which was designed for
this, or OnInit in a pinch)

Hi,

moving the code to create the control to OnInit or CreateChildControls
doesn't change the thing, ASP.NET is able to load postback data for controls
loaded in Page_Load (postback data loading happens in two steps once before
and once after Load - you can cofirm that by checking page trace).

By the way, for testing purposes maybe OK, but don't use MSgBox in ASp.NET
in production as it shows the MSgBoxes only on the server machine...

The issue itself relates that you add vbTab to the ListItem's Text in code:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Question_TXT.Text = "Pick One"
Answer_RBL.Items(0).Text = vbTab & "First"
Answer_RBL.Items(1).Text = vbTab & "Second"
End Sub

Remove the vbTab appendings and you'll note the thing starts to work just
fine (with control loaded in Page_Load, although in practise doing it in
Init or CreateChildControls eases certain things in the long run.

So I suppose it relates to other browser dealing with the tab...

To add, the issue still occurred in my test case even when creating the
control in CreateChildControls, when ListItem had vbTabs.

Thanks for your Teemu's informative inputs.

Seems the problem is related to the firefox 3's handling on <select>
options which contains tab chars. BTW, I agree that "OnInit" and
"CreateChildControls" are the prefered place for dynamic controls though it
may not address the problem here.

Sincerely,

Hi Teemu,

Fantastic. So simple, and I spent so much time trying to track this down.
Your help is appreciated. Thanks as well Bruce and Steven.

By the way, in the sample I load the controls in the Page Load event, but in
my actual page I load it in PreInit.

Thanks again
Paul
