Hi there.
I use some methods to automaticly save the windows content while closing. One of the tasks I do there is sending the content of my TextBoxes to hidden fields within my parent form:

    
             function OnClosePostBack() { 
        
                            // Automatisches Speichern der Email beim Schließen (Entwurf)                 
        
                           var parent_recipients = window.parent.theForm.ctl00$ContentPlaceHolderBody$Email_Recipients;                 
        
                           var parent_subject=window.parent.theForm.ctl00$ContentPlaceHolderBody$Email_Subject; 
        
                           var parent_body=window.parent.theForm.ctl00$ContentPlaceHolderBody$Email_Body; 
        
                           var parent_id=window.parent.theForm.ctl00$ContentPlaceHolderBody$Email_Id; 
        
                           var thisSubject = document.getElementById("txtMailSubject"); 
        
                           var thisMailId = document.getElementById("JSmailId"); 
        
                           var thisRecipients = document.getElementById("txtMailTo"); 
        
                           var thisBody = document.getElementById("EditorMailBody2"); 
        
                           parent_recipients.value=thisRecipients.value; 
        
                           parent_subject.value=thisSubject.value; 
        
                           parent_body.value=thisBody.Content; 
        
                           parent_id.value=thisMailId.value; 
        
                        }

This works fine with txtMailSubject, JSmailId and txtMailTo which are all Textboxes. But I cannot reach the content of the "EditorMailBody2" which is a radeditor. The .Text property is undefined, also is the .Content-Property.
The .innerHtml-Property is filled but does not contain what I need. I'm searching for the "simple" Text-content of that editor.

Any hints?

Hello Ole,

I examined your code and I noticed that you are referencing th editor by using the getElementById method - note, that this reference an HTML element and in order to use a control's client object to use its API you should use the method $find. You can find more details about referencing the RadEditor's client object below:

Once you correctly reference the client object you are able to use its client methods - please decide what is the exact one you need (get only plai text, get the whole html, etc) and use it:
