Editor Change event

[Joshua]

I know that I can use the change event to know when the editor loses focus after content changes. I need to be able to know when the editor loses focus, even if the content has not changed.

Is there a way to do this?

Hi Joshua,

In order to achieve the desired behavior you could use a jQuery blur event, which occurs when an element loses focus. Hence, you need to hook up to the iframe window. For example: 

$(document).ready(function() {
  // create Editor from textarea HTML element with default set of tools
  $("#editor").kendoEditor({});
  var editor = $("#editor").data("kendoEditor");
  $(editor.window).blur(function(){
    // do sth.
  })
});

I hope this helps.

This no longer seems to work with version v2015.1.318  , is there a different selector I should use for an inline editor ?

Hi Charlie,

The suggested solution will not work for Kendo UI Inline Editor because it has a different structure. However the following code snippet should help for Inline Editor: 

$(document).ready(function() {
  // create Inline Editor
  $("#editor").kendoEditor({  /* ... */ });
  var editor = $("#editor").data("kendoEditor");
  $(editor.element).blur(function(){
     //....
  })
});
