I display the Kendo editor in a Kendo window.  After displaying it, I would like to set focus on the editor.  I have being trying variations of:
kendoEditor.element.focus();
kendoEditor.element.select('body').focus();

No luck so far.  Any suggestions?

Hello Keith,

The focus() method of the Editor is of the widget object:

$("#EditorID").data("kendoEditor").focus();

If kendoEditor in your case is the textarea jQuery object, then try

kendoEditor.data("kendoEditor").focus();

Help me please!

I can't set focus into editor. You can see a text below.

  <div id="example">
    <div class="demo-section k-content">
        <div>
            <h4>Enter some content</h4>
            <textarea data-role="editor" 
                      data-tools="['bold',
                                   'italic',
                                   'underline',
                                   'strikethrough',
                                   'justifyLeft',
                                   'justifyCenter',
                                   'justifyRight',
                                   'justifyFull']"
                      data-bind="visible: isVisible,
                                 value: html,
                                 events: { change: onChange }"
                      style="height: 200px;"></textarea>
        </div>
        <div style="padding-top: 1em;">
            <h4>Console</h4>
            <div class="console"></div>
        </div>
    </div>

<script>
    var viewModel = kendo.observable({
        html: null,
        isVisible: true,
        onChange: function() {
            kendoConsole.log("event :: change (" + kendo.htmlEncode(this.get("html")) + ")");
        }
    });
    kendo.bind($("#example"), viewModel);
</script>
</div>
