Passing data from child to radeditor

[mike]

Hi,

I open  a traditional child window via javascript but I can't return data to my radeditor. I can successfully return to a textbox, but can't to the radeditor. I'm using window.opener.  

I am using master pages as well.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Please, find attached an example demonstrating how to pass information from a window.open dialog to RadEditor.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response.

I ran your code as is and got this error: Unexpected call to method or property access. This occured on the click of the ok button when trying to set_html.

When I tried to incorporate your code into mine the if didn't trigger. I had an alert in the else that executed instead.

Child code

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var oElement = window.opener.editor
function GetRowValue(val) {
    //  ctl00$ctl00$ContentMain$ContentPlaceHolder1$cbExpectations$RadEditor1
    alert(val);
    //window.opener.document.getElementById('edExpectations').innerHTML = val;
    //window.opener.document.forms['aspnetForm'].ctl00$ctl00$ContentMain$ContentPlaceHolder1$SID.value = val;
    if (oElement) {
        oElement.set_html(val);
    } else {
    alert("no if");
    }

    self.close();
    return false;
}
</script>

Parent Code

<script type="text/javascript">
    var editorElement = null;

function OpenPopup() {
    editorElement = $find("<%=edExpectations.ClientID %>");
    window.open("../curric/curricpick.aspx", "CurricPick", "scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=445,height=660");
}
</script>

Thanks again for your help,


Mike

Hello Mike,

Is it possible that you use RadEditor Classic (RadEditor.dll) or an older Telerik.Web.UI.dll file?

For your convenience I have attached a fully working project along with the Telerik.Web.UI.dll that demonstrates the required functionality.

I'm having a HTML button and a radEditor in a page.

When I click my html button, am opening a window through Javascript. When I clik a row in the newly opened window, I want to display the selected Value in the RadEditor.


I'm able to display value if all the controls are in the same page.

Please help me.

Hello Suderson,

Steps to achieve the requested feature:
1) Default.aspx:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server"></telerik:RadEditor>

<script type="text/javascript">

function invokeTopPageMethod(contentForPasteInRadEditor) {

   var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>");
   editor.set_html(contentForPasteInRadEditor);
}

</script>

2) DialogPage.aspx:
Execute the following line when you want to paste the content from the dialog in the editor

<script type="text/javascript">




window.top.invokeTopPageMethod(contentForPasteInRadEditor);




</script>

window.top returns the topmost browser window of the current window.

All the best,
Rumen
