I have tried the example for starting spell check from javascript but it is not working for me. The spell check windows opens and then immediately closes. If I set buttonType="PushButton" and then click on the spell check button the spell check works as desired.

I used a good Telerik sample but cannot find the exact reference that I used but the link below is basically what I used
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/spell_howtolaunching.html

Below is a non working sample. I am using Telerik version 2009.2.826.35

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello Joel R,

Add the following line to your code and it will work as expected:

function spellCheck()

{

var spell = $find("<%= RadSpell1.ClientID %>");

spell.startSpellCheck();

return false;

}

The reason for the problem is that you are using a submit button to call a JavaScript function. When you click it, the OnClientClick eventhandler is executed, e.g. the RadSpell is shown, but immediately after that the postback, that this submit button invokes, takes place and the page is reloaded. To avoid that you should cancel the postback.
