This is caused by <button> elements without a type attribute. Workarounds are - add a JS function like this Sys.Application.add_load(function () { // Add the "type=button" attribute to the RadWindow buttons so they don't try to submit the form. $("div.rwDialogButtons button").attr("type", "button"); }); - OR, override the templates and add the attribute: <asp:TextBox ID="Textbox1" runat="server" /> <telerik:RadWindowManager ID="rwm1" runat="server" RenderMode="Lightweight"> <AlertTemplate> <div class="rwDialog rwAlertDialog"> <div class="rwDialogContent"> <div class="rwDialogMessage">{1}</div> </div> <div class="rwDialogButtons"> <button type="button" class="rwOkBtn" onclick="$find('{0}').close(true); return false;">##LOC[OK]##</button> </div> </div> </AlertTemplate> <PromptTemplate> <div class="rwDialog rwPromptDialog"> <div class="rwDialogContent"> <div class="rwDialogMessage">{1}</div> <div class="rwPromptInputContainer"> <script type="text/javascript"> function RadWindowprompt_detectenter(id, ev, input) { if (!ev) ev = window.event; if (ev.keyCode == 13) { var but = input.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName("button")[0]; if (but) { if (but.click) { but.click(); } else if (but.onclick) { but.focus(); var click = but.onclick; but.onclick = null; if (click) click.call(but); } } return false; } else return true; } </script> <input title="Enter Value" onkeydown="return RadWindowprompt_detectenter('{0}', event, this);" type="text" class="rwPromptInput radPreventDecorate" value="{2}" /> </div> </div> <div class="rwDialogButtons"> <button type="button" class="rwOkBtn" onclick="$find('{0}').close(this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].value); return false;">##LOC[OK]##</button> <button type="button" class="rwCancelBtn" onclick="$find('{0}').close(null); return false;">##LOC[Cancel]##</button> </div> </div> </PromptTemplate> <ConfirmTemplate> <div class="rwDialog rwConfirmDialog"> <div class="rwDialogContent"> <div class="rwDialogMessage">{1}</div> </div> <div class="rwDialogButtons"> <button type="button" class="rwOkBtn" onclick="$find('{0}').close(true); return false;">##LOC[OK]##</button> <button type="button" class="rwCancelBtn" onclick="$find('{0}').close(false); return false;">##LOC[Cancel]##</button> </div> </div> </ConfirmTemplate> </telerik:RadWindowManager>
