[Andrew Costello]

Does this method:

work for the new editor?

Hi Andrew,

Please, use the provided solution in the following forum thread: Smilie Example.

We plan to make the custom dropdown implementation much easier in the coming updates of RadEditor "Prometheus" and we will provide a server-side API for this.

Kind regards,

In that post you said you expect to have this released with this current release? Is it going to be coming soon, if so I will wait. If not does the "hack" have any browser limitations or problems? There were no notes I could see on that.

Hi Andrew,

For the time being, this is the only possible way to create a custom dropdown and it works in IE and Firefox. We plan to provide a new api for Q1 of RadControls 2008, but if possible we will implement this feature earlier. It is logged with high priority in our ToDo list.

Kind regards,

The update on January 15, 2008 broke the emoticons. It now drops the toolbar. Here is what it looks like now
 
This is the before

Hello Andrew,

The solution should work properly with the latest version. To verify this I made a test and saw that the emoticons dropdown is displayed properly on the toolbar. You can see my test in the attached video as well as test my project.

If you are not able to solve the problem on your side, please open a support ticket and send a sample runnable project that demonstrates the problem. I will examine it and try to provide a solution.

Hi,

Thanks to Andrew, we found a bug in the emoticons code. To fix it just replace the following line in the code:

    //IE Maintain size of toolbar
    if (parent.style.width) parent.style.width = (parent.offsetWidth + 10) + "px";

with this one:

    //IE Maintain size of toolbar   
    if (parent.style.width) parent.style.width = (parseInt(parent.style.width) + 10) + "px";
