Change html value with JavaScript.

[Ian]

I'm using the MOSS editor for SharePoint v5.7. I can't seem to get at the client object at all. I've tried using:
 var editorInstance = $find("<%= this.myEditorField.ClientID %>");
but this just returns null. This method works with the standard Telerik editor but not the one for MOSS. Please advise on the correct way to do this.

Thanks.

Hello Ian,

In order to help you further I will need some additional information.

1. In what scenario are you using the control. Is it WCM, Web Part, or a list (list, wiki, blog etc.).
2. Could you send me the code of the page? It will be easier for me if I see the whole picture.
3. Could you describe the functionality which you are trying to achieve. There might be a different approach to get it working.


Kind regards,

I'm using it in a WCM context, code below, thanks.

<%@ Register TagPrefix="telerikRFE" Assembly="RadEditorSharePoint, Version=5.6.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1f131a624888eeed" Namespace="Telerik.SharePoint.FieldEditor" %>
<telerikRFE:RadHtmlField id="myEditorField" FieldName="MySPField" runat="server" />
<input type="button" onclick="checkHtml();" />

<script type="text/javascript">
function checkHtml()
{
    var editorInstance = $find("<%= this.myEditorField.ClientID %>"); 
     alert ( editorInstance.get_html() );  // editorInstance is null here!
}
</script>

Hi Ian,

You can not get the instance of RadEditor by the following code:

var editorInstance = $find("<%= this.myEditorField.ClientID %>");

What you should know is that myEditorField is an instance of RadHtmlField and nod RadEditor or MOSSRadEditor. What I suggest you to do is using the OnClientSubmit event to modify the content. Review the following online help articles:
1. OnClientSubmit.
2. Set Properties Via Config File

In addition a good place for the custom javascript code is the MOSSEditorTools.js, which is located in the /Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/web server extensions/wpresources/RadEditorSharePoint/5.x.x.0__1f131a624888eeed/Resources/ folder.


All the best,
