    My editor has an empty space at the bottom (see attached screenshot).  As far as I can tell, this only appears when autoheight is true.  I have tried clearing out the modules and changing css, all with no luck.  When I look at the editor's source in firefox using firebug I noticed that there is a newline which is causing the bottom space to exist (it is between the Wrapper table and the InsertLink div):

    <div id="ctl00_cphMain_fv_reSupervisorNotes" class="RadEditor Default reWrapper" style="height: auto; width: 100%; min-height: 100px; min-width: 856px;">
    <div id="ctl00_cphMain_fv_reSupervisorNotes_dialogOpener" style="display:none;">
    <div class="reRibbonBarWrapper"></div>
    <table id="ctl00_cphMain_fv_reSupervisorNotesWrapper" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="table-layout:auto;width:100%;height:100px;">
    
    <div id="ctl00_cphMain_fv_reSupervisorNotes_InsertLink" class="reInsertLinkWrapper" style="display: none;">
    <table class="reControlsLayout" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
    </div>
    <input id="ctl00_cphMain_fv_reSupervisorNotes_ClientState" type="hidden" name="ctl00_cphMain_fv_reSupervisorNotes_ClientState" autocomplete="off">
    </div>


    Here is my editor declaration:

    <telerik:RadEditor
        ID="reSupervisorNotes" runat="server"
        EditModes="Design" ContentAreaMode="Div" NewLineMode="P"
        ToolsFile="~/App_Data/RadEditor/Tools.xml" ToolbarMode="ShowOnFocus"
        AutoResizeHeight="true" Height="100px" Width="100%"
        Content="<%# Bind('SupervisorNotes') %>"
        OnClientLoad="RadEditorOnClientLoad">
        <Languages>
            <telerik:SpellCheckerLanguage Code="en-GB" Title="English UK" />
        </Languages>

    Hello,

    A little piece of javascript code will remove the white space:

    <body>
        <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
        </asp:ScriptManager>
        <telerik:RadEditor ID="reSupervisorNotes" runat="server" EditModes="Design" ContentAreaMode="Div"
            NewLineMode="P" ToolsFile="Tools.xml" ToolbarMode="ShowOnFocus"
            AutoResizeHeight="true" Height="100px" Width="100%"
            _OnClientLoad="RadEditorOnClientLoad">
            <Languages>
                <telerik:SpellCheckerLanguage Code="en-GB" Title="English UK" />
            </Languages>
        </telerik:RadEditor>
     
     
        <script type="text/javascript">
        (function() {
     
            var editroWrap = document.getElementById( "<%= reSupervisorNotes.ClientID %>" ),
                children = [].slice.call(editroWrap.childNodes);
     
            for (var i = 0, l = children.length; i < l; i++ ) {
                var child = children[i];
     
                if (child.nodeType == Node.TEXT_NODE) {
                    editroWrap.removeChild( child );
                }
            }
     
        })();
        </script>
    </form>
    </body>

    That works, thanks!

    I adapted your solution to work on every editor on my site via the OnClientLoad method:

    function RadEditorOnClientLoad(sender, args)
    { 
        var editroWrap = document.getElementById(sender.get_id()),
        children = [].slice.call(editroWrap.childNodes);
     
        for (var i = 0, l = children.length; i < l; i++)
        {
            var child = children[i];
            if (child.nodeType == Node.TEXT_NODE)
            {
                editroWrap.removeChild(child);
            }
        }
    }

    After some testing, I realized that this solution doesn't work in IE8 (the slice() method causes a javascript error).  IE9, IE10, Firefox, and Chrome are all fine.  Any suggestions?

    Hello Daniel,

    You could replace the provided function with this one:
    function RadEditorOnClientLoad(sender, args){
        var editroWrap = document.getElementById(sender.get_id()),
            reBlank = /^\s*$/,
            child = editroWrap.firstChild;
     
        while (child) {
            var currentNode = child;
            child = currentNode.nextSibling;
            if (currentNode.nodeName == "#text" && reBlank.test(currentNode.nodeValue)) {
                editroWrap.removeChild(currentNode);
            }
        }
    }

    The reason why the whole function should be replaced is that not only the slice method does not work in IE8 and IE7, but there is no Node object.
