Hi simhadri,

Currently ValidatorCalloutExtender is not compatible with the RadEditor control. We will try to provide support for it in one of the upcoming versions of RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX.

As a workaround, you can use CustomValidator to simulate RequiredFieldValidator and set focus on the editor in the ClientValidationFunction.

e.g.:

<script type="text/javascript">

    function ClientValidationFunction(sender, args) {

          

        //Note that sender is NOT the RadEditor but the span of the validator.

        //The content is contained in the args.Value variable

          

        //some validation code goes here

          

        var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID %>");//get reference of the RadEditor control

        editor.setFocus();//set focus to the RadEditor control

    }

</script>

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

</telerik:RadEditor>

  

<asp:CustomValidator 

    ID="CustomValidator1" 

    Runat="server" 

    ControlToValidate="RadEditor1"

    ClientValidationFunction="ClientValidationFunction" 

    Display="static">Some Error Message!</asp:CustomValidator><br />

<AjaxToolkit:ValidatorCalloutExtender ID="ValidatorExtender1" TargetControlID="CustomValidator1" >

</AjaxToolkit:ValidatorCalloutExtender>

  

<asp:button Runat="server" ID="Submit" Text="Submit" Width="80px"></asp:button>
