In the editor if the bulleted or numbered list toolbar button is pressed while in a paragraph tag the resulting html will close the paragraph tag and the list element is inserted under the paragraph tag. Is there a way to copy the exact insert list logic so that tables inserted by the editor format the html in the sammer manner. The end result I am looking for is for no table element to be a child of a paragraph element.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

We did our best to write some code that will do what you need and this is what we came up with:

  <script> 
              function OnClientPasteHtml(editor, args) 
              { 
                if (!$telerik.isIE) return
                 
                if (args.get_commandName() == "InsertTable"
                { 
                    //For proper functioning we need to have selection - or else the whole paragraph is made to a list 
                    var tempID = "temp_span_id";             
                    editor.pasteHtml("<span id='" + tempID + "'>TEMP</span>");                                           
                    var innerSpan = editor.get_document().getElementById(tempID); 
                    editor.selectElement(innerSpan); 
                     
                    //Create a list                                                      
                    editor.fire("InsertUnorderedList"); 
                     
                    //Replace the list with the table 
                    var innerSpan = editor.get_document().getElementById(tempID); 
                    var ul = innerSpan.parentNode.parentNode;                    
                    ul.outerHTML = args.get_value(); 
                     
                    //Cancel the original paste operation 
                    args.set_cancel(true);                                                            
                }                
              } 
              </script> 
               
            Ticket #185047 
            <telerik:radeditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1"  OnClientPasteHtml="OnClientPasteHtml"

It uses quite a number of hacks and assumptions on how the browser rich edit engine will behave, so there could be unexpected side effects. Our suggestion is to give it a try and fix it further if needed.
