    Like the subject says, the editor is in control that's used as an editor for a grid. When I go to edit a row, the value in the editor is always blank and unclickable when an AjaxPanel is on the page. I can remove the panel is everything works as it should. Even though there is no value shown, I can still hit update and the real values are still saved. Am I missing something that has to do with AJAX and the editor?

    Hi Michael,

    Could you check if this applies to your case: http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/editor/details/radeditor-content-not-saved-after-ajax-update-in-ie9-firefox-google-chrome-and-safari?

    Also, can you confirm there is no script error on the page, as this may break the editor functionality?

    I an also advise that you examine the following demo that shows how a RadEditor functions properly in a RadGrid and AJAX is used: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/edittemplate/defaultcs.aspx. Could you compare it with your setup and see whether you can imitate the approach or whether you can find the difference that is causing the problem?

    Yet another idea I can suggest is trying to force it to update its UI when the page renders in case this is a rendering problem. Here is a basic example:

    <telerik:RadAjaxPanel ID="RadAjaxPanel1" runat="server">
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" Text="show editor" OnClick="Button1_Click" runat="server" />
        <asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" Visible="false">
            <telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server">
                <Content>
                    some sample content
                </Content>
            </telerik:RadEditor>
            <asp:Button ID="Button2" Text="save" OnClick="Button2_Click" runat="server" />
            <asp:Label ID="Label1" Text="" runat="server" />
            <telerik:RadScriptBlock runat="server" ID="RadScriptBlock1">
                <script type="text/javascript">
                    function repaintEditor() {
                        var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>");
                        if (editor) {
                            editor.repaint();
                            //you can also try editor.onParentNodeChanged()
                            //and a small timeout in either case
                        }
                        Sys.Application.remove_load(repaintEditor);
                    }
                    Sys.Application.add_load(repaintEditor);
                </script>
            </telerik:RadScriptBlock>
        </asp:Panel>
    </telerik:RadAjaxPanel>
    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Panel1.Visible=true;
    }
    protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Label1.Text = RadEditor1.Content;
    }
