RadButton peforms duplicate requests when: - A RadButton exists on the page and the form is submitted when a text box is focused and enter key is hit. - the defaultbutton property of the form is set to the id of the RadButton For the time being the following functions' override can be used: <script type="text/javascript"> Telerik.Web.UI.RadButton.prototype._isButtonActiveElement = function (eventTarget) { var doc = eventTarget && eventTarget.ownerDocument ? eventTarget.ownerDocument : document; var activeElement = doc.activeElement; if (!activeElement) return false; if (activeElement === this.get_element() || $telerik.$.contains(this.get_element(), activeElement)) return true; return false; } var originalMouseClickHandler = Telerik.Web.UI.RadButton.prototype._mouseClickHandler; Telerik.Web.UI.RadButton.prototype._mouseClickHandler = function (args) { if (!this.get_enabled() || this.get_readOnly()) { $telerik.cancelRawEvent(args.rawEvent); return false; } var eventTarget = args.target ? args.target : args.srcElement; if (eventTarget === this.get_element() && !this._isButtonActiveElement(eventTarget) && !$telerik.isTouchDevice) { $telerik.cancelRawEvent(args.rawEvent); this.focus(); return false; } originalMouseClickHandler.call(this, args); } </script> The workaround must be placed after the declaration of the RadButton, in order to take effect.
