    Hi,
       I have a radeditor in my page. In radeditor we have the client side function  get_text() to get the text from radeditor. But how to set the text in radeditor instead on set_Html(). The set_html() function has some limitations if the editor contents has special characters or bold, italic etc. Please give the solution for this problem.

    Thanks,
    Velkumar.

    Hi Velkumar,

    To set the content in RadEditor you can use editor.set_html() which support bold, italic and special characters or editor.get_document().body.innerHTML.

    If you experience any problems with the set_html method, please provide sample content, steps to reproduce and specify a browser.

    Kind regards,

    Hello,

    Using this code I was unable to reproduce the problem:
    <telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server">    
        <Tools>   
            <telerik:EditorToolGroup>   
                <telerik:EditorTool Name="GetSetContent" />   
                <telerik:EditorTool Name="Bold" /> 
                <telerik:EditorTool Name="Italic" /> 
            </telerik:EditorToolGroup>   
        </Tools>   
    </telerik:RadEditor>   
                      
    <script type="text/javascript">
        Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList["GetSetContent"] = function (commandName, editor, args) {
            var content = editor.get_html(true);
            alert("the obtained content is: " + editor.get_html(true));
            //set the obtained content back in the editor
            editor.set_html(content);
            alert("the content set in RadEditor is: " + editor.get_html(true));
        };    
         
    </script>

    You can see my test in the following video: http://screencast.com/t/jIvzuvcdKIV.
