[Solved] Getting a reference to a RadEditor in a RadPageView

[Brian Kowald]

Hi. How can I get a reference to a RadEditor in a

RadPageView? I tried

 

$find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>"); but it returs null. Is it because its in a

 

RadPageView which is inside a RadMultiPage, which is inside a RadPane, which is inside a RadSplitter, etc?

I have a reference to the RadPageView that the RadEditor is in obtained with  multiPage.get_pageViews().getPageView(x)

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,

I suspect you might have added the line of code $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>"); at the wrong location.

That said, let me suggest you an alternative approach - and it is to use the editor's OnClientLoad event to assign a reference to some global variable which you can then easily access everywhere from your code, e.g.


<telerik:RadEditor OnClientLoad = "OnClientLoad" ..../>
<script>
var globalEditorRef = null;

function OnClientLoad(sender, args)
{
   globalEditorRef = sender;
}
</script>

Once the editor loads on the page, you will be able to reference it through the globalEditorRef variable.
