How do I clear the content of the RadEditor

[adec]

I have encountered a little problem  when the Editor is not in an UpdatePanel control and the Button which saves the content is. The content of the Editor simply will not be cleared during the Button OnClick event. I have tried several client-side approaches, so far without success. I'm sure this is very simple, so if someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Hi adec,

To clean the editor content on the client-side you need to get a reference to the editor and call its set_html method, e.g.

var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>");
editor.set_html("");

Hello Tervel and thanks for your reply. I have already tried this approach and it doesn't work. I wonder if the use of a ConfirmButtonExtender has anything to do with it. As it is now, I have added OnClientClick to the Button inside the UpdatePanel control like so; 

<asp:Button ID="SaveDiaryEntry2" runat="server" Text="Spara allt permanent" OnClick="SaveDiaryEntry_Click" 

 

SkinID="MemberButton" UseSubmitBehavior="true" ValidationGroup="Entry" OnClientClick="ClearEditor" />  

 

<cc1:ConfirmButtonExtender ID="SaveDiaryEntry2_ConfirmButtonExtender" runat="server"  

 

ConfirmOnFormSubmit="True" ConfirmText="Spara din dagboksanteckning? När anteckningen sparas kan den inte längre ändras..."  

 

Enabled="True" TargetControlID="SaveDiaryEntry2">  

 

</cc1:ConfirmButtonExtender>

My ClearEditor Function is located near the top of a ContentPage:

 

<script type="text/javascript">  

 

function ClearEditor() {

 

var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>");  

 

editor.set_html(

""); 

 

}

 

</script> 

just after the ScriptManagerProxy. Any thoughts?

Hello adec,

Before we delve any further, I would suggest adding a simple alert('hello') statement before the editor reference, just to make sure your code gets properly called.

Hello again,

I have now tried this approach and the alert never shows so the client-side function is not executed. It seems this function needs to be called when the OK button in the ConfirmButtonExtender is pressed.
