Hi Vijay,

If the selection in the content area is empty then the Link Text field in the E-mail tab of the Link manager will be loaded empty. In this scenario the user should fill the Link Text field too with the desired e-mail link text.
If the user does not fill this textbox then the e-mail will be inserted in the editor but will be invisible:

<a href="mailto:test@test.com?subject=Test"></a>

If you would like you can customize the external link manager dialog by adding textboxes validation in the link manager and force the user to fill all fields in the link manager.

I have also had difficulty with the link manager. I followed the instructions on how to disable a tab. I disabled the Anchor tab. Unfortunately in doing this I ended up disabling the email functionality. It does not matter what I type into the fields it simply does not become a link even though when I highlight the text that was meant to become an email link the "Remove Link" option does become available. I noticed that the instructions on how to customize a dialog within the rad editor does not seem to be completely the same as the code that came with the dialog version that I have.

Thank you in advance,

Ron

My code looks as follows:

    
            <telerik:RadTab Text="AnchorTab" Visible="false" Value="AnchorTab"></telerik:RadTab>  
        
            <asp:PlaceHolder visible="false" ID="existingAnchorRow" runat="server">  
        
                <tr style="display:none;">  
        
                    <td class="reLabelCell">  
        
                        <label for="ExistingAnchor" class="reDialogLabel">  
        
                        <span>  
        
                             <script type="text/javascript">document.write(localization["ExistingAnchor"]);</script>  
        
                        </span>  
        
                        </label>  
        
                    </td>  
        
                    <td class="reControlCell">  
        
                         <select id="ExistingAnchor">  
        
                        <option selected="selected">None</option>  
        
                         </select>  
        
                        </td>  
        
                </tr>  
        
            </asp:PlaceHolder>

The demo code is

<telerik:RadTab Text="Anchor" Visible="false" Value="Anchor"></telerik:RadTab>
<tr id="existingAnchorRow" style="display:none;" runat="server">

Ron,

I am not sure I am understanding your question completely, But there is a part that is missing in the documentation, but if you debug you could find it.

On linkManager.ascx file, scroll to getModifiedLink: function()
        {
...
...
else if (selectedIndex == 3)//"anchor"
            {

            }
            else //"email"
            {
                resultLink.href = "mailto:" + this._emailAddress.value;

                if (this._emailSubject.value != "")
                {
                    resultLink.href += "?subject=" + this._emailSubject.value;
                }

                if (this._emailTextBoxParentNode && this._emailTextBoxParentNode.style.display != "none")
                {
                    resultLink.innerHTML = this._emailLinkText.value;
                }

                this._setClass(resultLink, this._emailCssClass);
            }

            return resultLink;
}

Check you index value. When you remove a tab, the index becomes 2 instead of 3. The index were hard coded here so do something like above-
