Change the background color of a Kendo Editor text area

[John]

I have a number of Kendo Editor's used in my application.  Much of the text entered via the Editor will be displayed in a Kendo Grid.  I am using the Black theme, so the background color in the grid is a gray, which is fine.  The background color of the Kendo Editor text area is white.  I want to change that from white to a gray, or the same color as the grid background.  This way you will be able to enter the text as it will appear in the grid

Hello John,

You can achieve this either by adding a stylesheet to the editor content via the stylesheets configuration option, or via JavaScript by accessing the body field (the example in the documentation shows exactly this).

Your suggestion does not work, I do get a colored background but its a mess.

Without the <script> code I get

which look nice, except I want it with a gray background.  When I add the <script> code
    $("#editor").kendoEditor();
    var editor = $("#editor").data("kendoEditor");
    editor.body.style.backgroundColor = "gray";
I get this.


I have attached my .cshtml file in Test.zip

Hello John,

Based on the screenshots that you posted, it appears that you are initializing the editor twice on the same element, which is not supported. Instead, get hold of the editor instance and use the body field:

@(Html.Kendo().Editor().Name("editor"))

<script>
    $("#editor").data("kendoEditor").body.style.background = "gray";
</script>
