Hello Laila,

I suggest to use the RadEditor's OnClientLoaded event to set the focus and to do it with a little timeout, e.g as shown below:

    
                   <script type="text/javascript">  
        
               function OnClientLoad(sender, args)  
        
               {  
        
                  //set the focus on the the editor  
        
                  setTimeout(function(){  
        
                  sender.setFocus();  
        
                  }, 100);   
        
               }

You can also test whether even timeout of 0 ms can do the trick because it is very probable but depends on the loading time of your page.
