Couldn't find how to get access to pure RadEditor content during spell checking

[Volodymyr Tatarin]

Hello,

  I have following task:
- there is RadEditor with spell checker tool
- any changes in RadEditor fire event to update some div element (on the page) with content of RadEditor
- when I put incorrect words into the RadEditor and click on Spell Check the content of the RadEditor contains not only formatted text, but also <span> tags with id = "RadESpellError_*" & class "RadEWrongWord"
  As result I copy the content into my div element and when moving via spell checking, the checker moves to my div and work with my copied words (because they contains the same IDs and class as the spell checker inserted)

  Could you please help me with get pure content from the Editor to copy into my div w/o impact from Spell Checker side then?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Volodymyr,

The get_html method returns the current content in the content area of RadEditor. If you want to get the clean editor's content without any special tags that RadSpell inserts to highlight the misspelled words, you should stop the spellchecking process and after that execute the get_html method. Here is an example:

<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1"></telerik:RadEditor>
<input type="button"  value="Get Content" onclick="GetContent();return false;"  />
<script type="text/javascript">
    function GetContent() {
        var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>"); //get a reference to the editor
        var spell = editor.get_ajaxSpellCheck();
        spell.cancelSpellCheck();
        alert(editor.get_html(true));
    }
</script>

This is the only way to get the content without obtaining the special tags and formatting of the highlighted by RadSpell misspelled words.

Best wishes,

Thanks a lot for the answer! I've blocked copying during spellchecking and it works for me.
