Radeditor Bad Escaped Character

[Michael]

In our online application using the Radeditor I includetext like:  "the 17^th"

I get the following error:

VM616:1Uncaught SyntaxError: Bad escaped character in JSON at position 986 (line 1 column 987) at JSON.parse (<anonymous>) at Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckService._processResponse (Telerik.Web.UI.WebRe…%3a8547b8b2:106:708) at Array.<anonymous> (Telerik.Web.UI.WebRe…9e%3a8547b8b2:6:307) at Telerik.Web.UI.WebRe…%3a8547b8b2:6:51370 at Sys.Net.WebRequest.completed (Telerik.Web.UI.WebRe…%3a8547b8b2:6:89758) at XMLHttpRequest._onReadyStateChange (Telerik.Web.UI.WebRe…%3a8547b8b2:6:84357)

 

The editor then locks up and I cannot continue.

This does not happen in the online demo.

Any ideas?

Hi Michael,

Thank you for contacting us.

I tested the described scenario, but unfortunately, I was unable to replicate the issue in our live demos here:

• https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/overview/defaultcs.aspx

To further troubleshoot this, please follow these steps:

1. Upgrade your Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX to the latest version and test the scenario again.

2. Try changing the SpellChecker provider by setting:

   • SpellCheckSettings-SpellCheckProvider="EditDistanceProvider"

   • SpellCheckSettings-SpellCheckProvider="PhoneticProvider"

After performing these steps, if the issue persists, please provide:

• The exact HTML content you are testing.

• Your complete RadEditor configuration settings.

This information will help us replicate and diagnose the issue further.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Regards,
Rumen

We added the line:

RadEditor1.SpellCheckSettings.SpellCheckProvider = SpellCheckProvider.EditDistanceProvider;

That fixed the problem.

Thank you!
