[Solved] How to Prevent Accidental Click on Backspace Button

[Ismet]

I write so fast at editor and sometimes i click on backspace on editor area or focused on other areas of page. So how can i prevent accidental clicks that causing a lose of entry? :)

Hi Ismet,

I am not sure that this problem is directly related to the editor control, but if the accidental click of the backspace results in a data lose from the editor's content area, as a solution I would suggest you to attach a simple javascript confirm to the onbeforeunload event to prevent the data lose, e.g.:

window.onbeforeunload = function() {
    if(!confirm("Are you sure you want to leave the page?")) return false;
}

I hope this information helps.

Sincerely yours,

That was what i looking for, however i am not sure where to place this code.

Hello Ismet,

If you want the code to be present in each page where there is a RadEditor control, then add the code to the ~/controls/texteditor.ascx file in your DNN site.
