How to make Links (<a> tag) work in RadEditor?

[Lee]

Hi!

I have a RadEditor on a page and links do not work when clicked.  I read in other posts that the links won't work due to it being rendered in an IFRAME, and try some JavaScript workarounds:

https://www.telerik.com/forums/radeditor-hyperlinks-not-working

 

I tried both of the workarounds mentioned there:

http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/editor/how-to/open-link-in-a-new-window-when-clicked
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/editor/how-to/open-link-in-a-new-window-on-double-click

But neither was able to open a new page.  I set ContentFilters to "None", and still the same issue so it's not related to that.

Thanks!

Hello Lee,

You can right click over a link and use the Open Link feature of the context menu of RadEditor to open the link. You can test this in the Default demo.

Still experiencing this issue in 2024.  The workarounds that were linked how-to documents almost worked.  i had to modify the Javascript method slightly, specifically to remove the onclick code that was auto inserted by the RadEditor.

    <script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientLoad(editor)
    {
        var links = editor.get_document().getElementsByTagName("A");
        for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++)
        {
            var link = links[i];
            link.setAttribute("target", "_blank");
            link.setAttribute("onclick", "");
        }
    }
    </script>

HTH
