Ajax control toolkit Tab container header display issue with moss

Using Ajax is very complicated.
And when it comes with SharePoint than nothing worst like that.

Recently we are starting implementing ASP.NET AJAX with SharePoint.
And while implementing we came to know that we were wrong.
Its more challenging then what we are thinking.

Here I am explaining a problem with Ajax control toolkit’s Tab Container.
While implementing we came to know about this header display problem.

We are getting header text of the tab is only half. Other half is not displaying.
Than after googling we came to know that this is known issue.

But even after searching for 4 hours we are not getting the except problem solution for moss.
So I found that the same problem is in DNN(Dot Net Nuke) also.
and found an article how to solve it in DNN here

The only thing you have to do is that.

Add following style in you webpart.
<style type="text/css">
.ajax__tab_xp .ajax__tab_tab {
height: 21px;
}
</style>


I tried it in my webpart in MOSS.
And BINGO.

So enjoy the AJAX.

Hi, thanks for this info.

It works fine until I do a post back and then the webresource.axd overrides my css so the height goes back to the old measurement. Any ideas how I can prevent this from happening?

Cheers!

webresource.axd is error regarding wrong configuration of ajax.

configure ajax again.

not related to CSS mentioned here.

Hi Ahemed,

Try to create a user control and use AJAX tab control inside it.
Using SmartPart (from Codeproject) or generic smart part you can deploy it to sharepoint web pages.
Enjoy!

Sharepoint Kings,

If I put the tabcontainer in a update panel and click a button to perform the pose, the problem occurs with the tab headers again. Is there any way around this?

Binish said...

Hi, I followed your step but still the heder text is showing half. When checked it using IE developer tool bar in IE 7, the class applied to it is ".ajax__tab_tab" not ".ajax__tab_xp .ajax__tab_tab".

Any idea?
