Cursor position after set_html(content); is called from Javascript

[Brian Garson]

Hello,

I'm trying to sort out a way to avoid having the cursor at position 0 in the editor after using the editor.set_html("I added some text"); function from javascript.  It seems in  when set_html is used your cursor automatically moves to position 0. You can see from your example on your site by clicking set_html http://mono.telerik.com/Editor/Examples/ClientsideAPI/DefaultCS.aspx 

Is there any workaround for this?  In short what I'm trying to accomplish is to Filter the contents of the editor and replace that content, via JavaScript.

thanks,

Hi Brian,

You can set the cursor to the end of the content after using the set_html() method using the code below:

<telerik:radeditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1">
   <Content>
       Here is sample content!
   </Content>
</telerik:radeditor>
<input type="button" value="reset" onclick="ResetContent();return false;" />
<script type="text/javascript">
    function ResetContent() {
        var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>"); //get a reference to RadEditor client object
        editor.set_html("test"); //reset the content
        var doc = editor.get_document();
        doc.execCommand("SelectAll", null, false);
        editor.getSelection().collapse();
    }
</script>

All the best,
