Custom link dialog: problem editing existing link

[Marja]

Hi,

I'm trying to build my own custom 'insert/edit link' dialog, following the example found at http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/customdialogs/defaultvb.aspx

If an existing internal link was selected to be edited, eg. a link to a named anchor, the RadEditor returns a 'href' attribute including the URL of the current page.
Eg. when the link to be edited is "<a href="#Marja">Jump to Marja</a>", I get "http://localhost:55098/wsAdmin/TestRadEditor.aspx#Marja" as value for the 'href' attribute instead of merely "#Marja".

What can I do about this?

Hi Marja,

The problem is due to JavaScript behavior. When the HREF attribute is retrieved via the href property, the returned value is an absolute path. I suggest using the getAttribute() method, which will get the original string value of the desired attribute.

You can replace the initDialog() method of the dialog with this example one:

function initDialog()
        {
            var clientParameters = getRadWindow().ClientParameters;
            linkUrl.value = clientParameters.getAttribute("href");
            linkTarget.value = clientParameters.target;
            linkClass.value = clientParameters.className;
            linkName.value = clientParameters.innerHTML;

            workLink = clientParameters;
        }
