If you are using MVC it might be worth checking out the telerik controls (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc), they are free if you are doing an internal or “not for profit” application.
If however you do choose to use them, you could come up against a little problem I had. Using the telerik controls with your own custom jQuery. In my case I was using the jQuery UI dialog.
It kept throwing an error where I was setting my div to a dialog.
- $("#textdialog").dialog({
The problem is when you use the telerik mvc stuff you need to call ScriptRegistrar
- @Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar()
in order to setup the javascript for the controls.
By default this adds a reference to jQuery and if you have already added a reference to jQuery because you are using it elsewhere, this causes a problem.
I found the solution here
And it was to change the above ScriptRegistrar call to this…
- @Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().jQuery(false).DefaultGroup(g => g.Combined(true).Compress(true));
If you come across this one on stackoverflow it wont work – in my case the HtmlEditor would render no problem, but was unusable. Which is the same as someone else found when using the tab control – they went to the bother of re-writing the ScriptRegistrar. Not for me that one!!
