Not answered get/set html for Sitefinity RadEditor

Posted on Sep 26, 2008 (permalink)

Hi,

I am trying to update the contents of a Rad Editor box through javascript.

I found an example that says these two lines of code should do the trick:

var editor = GetRadEditor("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>");  

editor.SetHTML("test"); 

The error I get with this is object expected on the first line.

You can find below my entire aspx file. I would appreciate any help you can give me with this.

i think that that method you've used is one that was defined by whoever posted the example. according to the telerik documentation http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/editor_getingreferencetoradeditor.html, you get a reference to the editor like this:

<script type="text/javascript">  

     var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>"); //get a reference to RadEditor client object  

     alert(editor.get_id()); //returns RadEditor Client ID  

</script>

of course I'm not sure about that $find, I think that's a jQuery thing but I'm not sure if it's built into the telerik controls. might give it a try!

there's a lot of examples of the clientside API in there on that link up there that might prove helpful in some of the things you're trying to accomplish.

hope this was helpful!

Thanks. This is exactly what I needed. Just this line of code was sufficient:

$find("RadEditor1").set_html("test value");
