using telerik grid with jquery ui dialog!
in mvc user control called form.ascx, I have a Telerik Grid contained in a div called "details".
from a page called edit.aspx i wrote the following:
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<div id="details">
<%Html.RenderPartial("form", Model != null ? Model.CurrentEntity : null); %>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#details').dialog(
{ modal: true,
title: "add",
width: 815,
buttons: {
'save': function () { $("form:first").trigger("submit"); },
'close': function () { $(this).dialog('close'); }
}
});
});
</script>
</asp:Content>
the problem is the dialog is never shown!! and the user control is shown inside the master page as if i'm not using a dialog.
inside the "form" user control, when i disable the grid, every thing works fine and the dialog is shown correctly. when i used the firebug to figure out the problem, the following error appeared:
$ is not defined????
any body has an idea ??
here is the master page:

Answer
When you use the Telerik ScriptRegistrar, by default it will output a link to jQuery at the bottom of your page. If you have code "higher" in your page that needs jQuery, or if you're manually adding jQuery to your page (as you are in your code example), you can disabled the ScriptRegistrar's behavior, like this:
Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().jQuery(false).Render();
Also note that you do not need the "telerik.examples.js" or the "prettyPrint();" code unless you are actually using that code. These resources are used in the Telerik demos, but not typically in other websites.
You should be able to update your ScriptRegistrar as shown above and then re-enable your jQuery validation scripts without issue.
As a final note, if you are going to use ScriptRegistrar compression, you need to register the Asset HttpHandler in your web.config:
<add verb="GET,HEAD" path="asset.axd" validate="false" type="Telerik.Web.Mvc.WebAssetHttpHandler, Telerik.Web.Mvc"/>
More details are available in the online docs.
