Cancel Button and Undo All Changes

[dgale]

I'm trying to make a Cancel button for my RadEditor, but running into a problem.  On my site, I display the RadEditor as Enabled=false when the page loads.  The causes just the text to be seen, not all the editing controls and whatnot.

There is a "Add/Edit Text" button the user can click that will enable the RadEditor, and show my Submit and Cancel buttons.

When the user clicks my "Cancel" button, I'd like the RadEditor to once again be disabled AND discard any changes that were made.  I can disable it no problem, however the unsaved changes persist.

On the older RadEditor, when you clicked the native "Cancel" button, changes were discarded.  I'd like to replicate this using the new RadEditor.

Any suggestions?

Hello Dgale,

You should add a <asp:HiddenField> to your page with the editor and keep the "original content" there (or you can keep the content in the Session object)
When the user clicks Cancel - you should read the original content in the cancel button event handler and re-set it into the editor.

Thanks!  I'll give that a try.

Is there any issue with saving html content with tags in the HiddenField control ? I am having a problem where after saving the html content in the HiddenField,  the save/cancel commands throw exceptions. If the content stored is plain text then everything works fine.

Hi,

Can you please set ValidateRequest="false" on the page with this issue? If the problem is other please send the error message and a screenshot of it?

Encoding the html content before assiging it to the hiddenfield control solved my problem.
