  Hi,
  
  I am using a custom link dialog copied exactly from http://mono.telerik.com/Editor/Examples/CustomDialogs/DefaultCS.aspx with a few modifications. I was having an issue where editing an existing link would result in a "double link" of 2 nested <a> tags. I thought the problems must be with my modifications of the example, but now I realize that the problem exists in the example on the telerik website at the link I provided.
  
  For example, in Chrome, selecting the word "semantic", bringing up the link dialog, and entering http://www.google.com for the url, and then pressing Insert Link, results in this:
  
  <span><a href="http://www.google.com/">semantic</a></span>
  
  After selecting "semantic" again, bringing up the link dialog again (which binds correctly), and then pressing Insert Link, I get the following code:
  
  <span><a href="http://www.google.com/" name="semantic"><span><a href="http://www.google.com/">semantic</a> </span></a> </span>
  
  However, after performing the same two operations in IE, it creates this code:
  
  <a href="http://www.google.com/">semantic</a>
  
  which is correct. Is there some sort of hotfix for this issue, or any way to insert code to work around it?
  
  Thank you,
  
  Michael Weiss

  Hello Michael,
  
  To fix the problem just delete the selected content with editor.get_document().execCommand("Delete", null, false); and after that paste the new one at cursor position in the Callback function of the custom dialog:
  
  

  ...

  var myCallbackFunction = function(sender, args)

  {

  editor.get_document().execCommand("Delete", null, false);

  editor.pasteHtml(String.format("<a href={0} target='{1}' class='{2}'>{3}</a> ", args.href, args.target, args.className, args.name));

  }
