[Solved] Displaying RadEditor as a TextBox: missing blue line

[Andrew Thompson]

When following the RadEditor as a Text demo (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/editorastextbox/defaultcs.aspx) I notice a peculiar 'bug'.

Load the page.
Click on the area inside the blue border (the Resume Field).
The blue border at the bottom disappears and doesn't reappear.

Is there a work-around for this?

I'm running IE8.0.6001.18702CO.

I should also note that I get a different result using FireFox. In that instance it gains 4 pixels bottom border.

Hi Andrew,

Please, try the following solution:

<script type="text/javascript">
function OnClientLoad(editor, args)
{
    var element = document.all ? editor.get_document().body : editor.get_document();
    $telerik.addExternalHandler(element, "click", function(e)
    {
        editor.setSize(300, 145);
    });
}
</script>
<telerik:RadEditor OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" Height="150px" Width="300px" ToolsWidth="330px"
    EditModes="Design" ID="RadEditor1"  runat="server" ToolbarMode="ShowOnFocus"
    ToolsFile="~/Editor/Examples/EditorAsTextBox/BasicTools.xml">
</telerik:RadEditor>

<script type="text/javascript">

function OnClientLoad(editor, args)

{

var element = document.all ? editor.get_document().body : editor.get_document();

$telerik.addExternalHandler(element, "click", function(e)

{

editor.setSize(300, 145);

});

}

</script>

<telerik:RadEditor OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" Height="150px" Width="300px" ToolsWidth="330px"

EditModes="Design" ID="RadEditor1"  runat="server" ToolbarMode="ShowOnFocus"

ToolsFile="~/Editor/Examples/EditorAsTextBox/BasicTools.xml">

</telerik:RadEditor>

Nope still lops off the bottom line of the frame using IE8.0.

Most peculiar.

editor.SetSize(300, 143) does resolve the issue somewhat...the border looks different from entering the editor space to leaving the editor space.

However this solution doesn't appear to work in pages that use masterpages. I get the error:

The control collection cannot be modified during DataBind, Init, Load, PreRender or Unload phases

Hi Andrew,

I am not sure why you get this error in your masterpages scenario. Nevertheless if you isolate the problem in a sample working project and send it by opening a support ticket I will be able to debug the error and to provide a solution.
