Hi Telerik team

My scenario is I had a custom button in the editor toolbar which will popup my custom radwindow, I want to pass the current editor value to the popup and do a regular expression search during page load event inside popup. I am trying to assign the whole editor content into a hidden field in a javascript on popup window first, then retrieve the content from radwindow page load event, unfortunately I can't get this value from the hidden field in page load event from radwindow, but I can get the value if there is a postback event fired on the radwindow.

Here is my javascript on my popup radwindow

<script type="text/javascript">

    Sys.Application.add_load(loadData);

    function loadData() {
        var currentWindow = GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow;
        hidInput = $('#<%=hidContent.ClientID %>');
        alert(hidInput.val());
        alert(currentWindow.sm5_editor._editor.get_html(false));
        //alert(currentWindow.sm5_editor._editor.get_html(false));
        hidInput.val(currentWindow.sm5_editor._editor.get_html(false));
    }
</script>
    <div style="padding-top:20px">Please select a bookmark</div>
    <div style="padding-top:5px;">
        <telerik:RadComboBox ID="rcbInsertBookmarkLink" runat="server" Width="340"></telerik:RadComboBox>
    </div>
    <div style="position:absolute; top:40px; left:362px;">
        <img runat="server" id="imgRedAlert" visible="false" src="~/App_Themes/Modern/images/Icons/16x16/redalert.gif" />
    </div>
<input type="hidden" id="hidContent" value="sadfsadf " runat="server" />
</asp:Content>

Here is my code behind

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Master.cmdOk.Click += cmdOk_Click;
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                BindBookmarks();
            }
        }

        protected void BindBookmarks()
        {
            //EmailsInfo email = EmailsManager.GetEmail(SmartmailQuerystring.EmailId);
            string emailContent = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(hidContent.Value);

            var reg = new Regex(EditorText.BookmarkRegex, GetRegOptions());
            var bs = (from Match item in reg.Matches(emailContent)
                      select new BookmarkInfo
                                 {
                                     BookmarkName = item.Result("$1"), BookmarkType = BookmarkType.EmailBookmark, BookmarkId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace("-", "")
                                 }).ToList();

            rcbInsertBookmarkLink.DataTextField = "BookmarkName";
            rcbInsertBookmarkLink.DataValueField = "BookmarkId";
            rcbInsertBookmarkLink.DataSource = bs;
            rcbInsertBookmarkLink.DataBind();
        }

To simplify my question, I want to pass the whole editor content to the popup window and during popup window load I can retrieve data from code behind at Page_Load event.

Hi Vincent,

The content of RadEditor is not accessible because the hidden filed is not populated in the server-side Page_Load event. This is because the server-side events are executed before the client-side events.

For your scenario I suggest you to pass the content of the editor through the session variable.

Sincerely yours,

Hi Telerik Team

Thanks for your answer. After struggling a day, I finally choose this way to pass the editor data. I couldn't find any better way to do that, but I still concern the size and memoy usage issue.
