Prevent RadEditor from scrolling to the bottom

[rodusa]

I have a very large page that requires to manually scroll down to see its content. The problem arises whenever I place a RadEditor control on my page. For some reason, on the first load and on any post back  RadEditor is making the page scroll to the bottom but once I remove the control the page works fine. PS: RadEditor it is not taking focus, simply making the page scroll down to the bottom.

Hi Rodusa,

What the editor actually do is similar to (but not exactly the same as) getting the focus. The editor just gets the page selection in order to attach its event handlers properly.

Here is an example how to set the focus on a textbox control for example placed at the beginning of the page:

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<telerik:radeditor runat="server" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" ID="RadEditor1"></telerik:radeditor>
<script type="text/javascript">
function OnClientLoad(editor, args)
{
    setTimeout(function()
    {
        $get("TextBox1").focus();
    }, 100);
}
</script>

thanks but this solution will cause the page to flicker as it jumps from the editor to the textbox.

Hi Rod,

As I explained in my first reply the behavior is due to that the RadEditor control gets the page selection in order to attach its event handlers properly in Internet Explorer.  This behavior is seriously enhanced in the recent versions of RadEditor and my suggestion is to make sure that you are not using an older version than 6 months. The best option is to use the latest one 2008.3 1314.

If you would like we can tell you how to override the editor's method (in the latest versions of RadEditor) that will solve completely the page jump problem, but you can experience problems in IE.
