    Hi

    How to give set focus to the content area of the radeditor?
    the setfocus method is working in ie but not in chrome.
    if i gave the setFocus() it focus on the toolbar(like bold,italic) . not in the content area of editor.
    How to give the focus to content area?


    thanks in advance. 
    geetha.

    Hello Geetha,


    I assume you have already referred the documentation. Give a try with following client code and see whether it help.
    Code:
    function SetFocusOnRadEditor() {
        var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>"); //get a reference to RadEditor client object
        editor.get_contentArea().focus();
    }



    -Shinu.

    Hi guys,

    The discussed approach would work but there is even an easier one - by using the special public method called setFocus which the editor exposes as shown below: 


    <form id="form1" runat="server">   
        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager" runat="server" />  
        <telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad">   
            <Content>  
               Here is sample content!   
            </Content>  
        </telerik:RadEditor>  
        
        <script type="text/javascript">   
       function OnClientLoad(sender, args)   
       {   
          //set the focus on the the editor   
          setTimeout(function(){sender.setFocus();}, 0);    
       }   
           
        </script>  
        
        </form>

    None of the above helped med actually :-|

    I have a RadTextBox before the editor, and want to focus on editor contentarea (blinking cursor) when I tab out of the RadTextBox. 

    I have added a keydown event on the radtextbox, and let it call this function:

    function keydown(e) {
                var c = e.keyCode;
                if (c == 9) {
                    var editor = $find("<%=radMailBody.ClientID%>");
                    editor.get_contentArea().focus(); //Doesnt work! :-|
                    //editor.setFocus(); //Doesnt work :-(
                }
            }

    The event is fired, and this function is hit, I know it evaluates the if condition - tested with alert inside if statement. However the attempts to set focus on editor content area fails :-(

    It is a .net 2.0 application with Telerik.Web.UI version 2011.1.315.40.

    Any help is apprechiated, thanks.

    Sincerely,

    Jesper Laustsen

    Hi,

    Try the following solution:
    <telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" ClientEvents-OnKeyPress="keydown" runat="server"></telerik:RadTextBox>
    <telerik:RadEditor OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" runat="server" ID="radMailBody">
        <ImageManager ViewPaths="~/Images" UploadPaths="~/Images" />
    </telerik:RadEditor>
     
    <script>
        function OnClientLoad(editor) {
            var buttonsHolder = $get(editor.get_id() + "Top"); //get a reference to the top toolbar zone of the editor         
            var buttons = buttonsHolder.getElementsByTagName("A"); //get a reference to all A elements on the toolbar and disable the tabbing trough them         
            for (var i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++) {
                var a = buttons[i];
                a.tabIndex = -1;
                a.tabStop = false;
            }
        }
        function keydown(e) {
            var c = e.keyCode;
            if (c == 9) {
                var editor = $find("<%=radMailBody.ClientID%>");
                editor.setFocus(); //Doesnt work! :-|
                $telerik.cancelRawEvent(e);
        }
    }
     
    </script>
