This seems to be straight-forward i think. I am populating my editor.Content from a database. Loading the content in my Page Load event. (Which works 100%!). But when I change content in the editor via my browser, the original content from the database get saved. I have read issues similar to mine on the forum, but the solution seems to be only for FF. AS you will see in my ASP.Net Markup, UseSubmitBehavior="false" has been added in any case. I have used the radeditor before (a version before it was not AJAX enabled) with no problems at all ! To reference the editor previously I used it for example editor.html to retrieve the value.

I am not using UpdatePanels. BTW the page gets posted back to itself, and is suppose to reflect changes made after btnSaveContent_Click.

Thanks in advance !

ASP.NET Markup

<asp:Panel runat="server" ID="pnlContentAdminMode" Visible="false">

<div>

<telerik:RadEditor ID="edtContent" runat="server" ContentFilters="None"

EnableAjaxSkinRendering="False" EnableResize="False"

Font-Bold="True" Height="100%" Language="" NewLineBr="False"

Skin="Sunset" Width="100%" ToolsFile="~/Scripts/BasicTools.xml"

AutoResizeHeight="True" EditModes="Design, Html" AllowScripts="True" >

</Content>

</telerik:RadEditor>

<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnSaveContent" Text="Save Changes" class="btnWide" onclick="btnSaveContent_Click" UseSubmitBehavior="false" />

</div>

</asp:Panel>

Code Behind

protected void btnSaveContent_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

SqlConnection dbConn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["dbConn"].ConnectionString);

SqlCommand cmdContent = new SqlCommand();

cmdContent.Connection = dbConn;

cmdContent.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

cmdContent.CommandText = "updateContent";

string currentPage = Request.Url.Segments[1].ToString().ToLower();

//lblContent.Text = currentPage;

cmdContent.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Page", currentPage);

cmdContent.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Content", edtContent.Content);

cmdContent.Parameters.AddWithValue("@User", Session["LoginUser"].ToString());

dbConn.Open();

cmdContent.ExecuteNonQuery();

cmdContent.Dispose();

dbConn.Close();

}

Hi Johan,

The problem is more likely related to overriding the editor content in your Page_Load method. Please note that if you read the content of the editor in an event handler (such as a button event handler) this event handler executes later in the page lifecycle compared to Page_Load. This is why, in case you set the initial content in Page_Load it is mandatory to add a check, e.g.

if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
RadEditor1.Content = "Some content";
}

In case you are having any difficulty, our suggestion is to implement your scenario using a simple <asp:TextBox> instead of RadEditor. Once you get the textbox to work as needed, all you need to do is change the textbox to RadEditor - and all should be fine.

In case you are able to implement your scenario with a simple <asp:TextBox>, yet you are facing trouble with the RadEditor, please send us your working project in a support ticket and we will make the change for you.

You should also see the following live demo on the subject: Save In Database.

Hi Chris,

Do you experience this problem in Firefox only? If this is the case, please, see the following KB article which provides a solution: RadEditor Content Not Saved After Ajax Update in Firefox.

In order to fix the problem you will have to set the "submit" button's property UseSubmitBehavior="false", e.g.
<asp:Button ID="Save"
UseSubmitBehavior="false"
OnClick="Save_Click" runat="server" Text="Save Content" />

Hi Tom,

Please, see the following live demos which demonstrates how to save the RadEditor's content in a Database and in External HTML file:
Save In Database,
Save in External File
and
Datagrid Edit Template.

On the other hand, your problem is more likely related to overriding the editor content yourself, in your Page_Load method. Please note that if you read the content of the editor in an event handler (such as a button event handler) this event handler executes later in the page lifecycle compared to Page_Load. This is why, in case you set the initial content in Page_Load it is mandatory to add a check, e.g.

if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
radEditor1.Html = "Some content";
}

In case you are having any difficulty, our suggestion is to implement your scenario using a simple <asp:TextBox> instead of RadEditor. Once you get the textbox to work as needed, all you need to do is change the textbox to RadEditor - and all should be fine.

Hi Telerik Team.
I also have problem to submit my changes on the DB. I dont inicialize on

Page_Load nothing.

This is my code example:

c# code
Email current = context.GetEmail(ID);

current.Name = RadComboBoxEmail.Text;

current.Template = RadEditorEmail.Content;

context.UpdateEmailTemplate(current);

aspx

   <telerik:RadAjaxPanel runat="server" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1">
                <telerik:RadCodeBlock runat="server">
                    <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBoxEmail" runat="server" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="Id" AppendDataBoundItems="True" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="RadComboBoxEmail_SelectedIndexChanged">
                        <Items>
                            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Value="0" Text="Select" />
                        </Items>
                    </telerik:RadComboBox>
                </telerik:RadCodeBlock>
                <br />
                <br />
                <telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditorEmail" Width="100%">
                </telerik:RadEditor>
