Hi ARUNTHOMAS,

RadEditor does not offer a method named set_text. To set the content in the editor you should use the editor's set_html() method. If you want to load plain text you should strip the HTML markup before setting the content using some regular expression. Here is a base example:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server"></telerik:RadEditor>
<input type="button" onclick="SetPlainText();return false;" value="Set Plain Text" />
<script type="text/javascript">
    function SetPlainText() {
        var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>");
        var content = "<strong><i>test</i></strong>";
        var plainTextContent = content.replace(/<\/?[^>]*>/ig, "").replace(/<!--(.|\s)*?-->/gi, "");
        editor.set_html(plainTextContent);
    }
</script>
