[Solved] Spell checker not updating controls with correct spelling

[Peter]

Hi

I'm having a bit of trouble getting the spell checker to update my checked controls with their proper spelling. I've noticed that the correct values don't display until I click on the controls themselves, and have read that I need to use updateDisplayValue() to make the control display the corrected spelling, but when I call this function, it seems to do nothing. I have also hooked up a handler to the CheckFinished event, and am automatically submitting the page (ie. doing a postback), and the incorrect spelling is still there. How would I go about fixing this?

<telerik:RadSpell ID="rsSpell" runat="server" Skin="Office2007" ButtonType="None" />

spellCheck();
$find("<%= rsSpell.ClientID %>").add_clientCheckFinished(SendSMSAfterSpell);

//here we create a simple text source for the RadEditor control - used to get/set the text
        //to spellcheck
        function EditorTextSource(editor) {
            this._editor = editor;
        }
        EditorTextSource.prototype =
            {
                get_text: function() {
                    var text = this._editor.get_html(true);
                    return text;
                },

                set_text: function(text) {
                    this._editor.set_html(text);
                }
            }
        //this function creates a composite text source for the RadSpell control (using a RadEditor
        //and a TextBox). The content of all controls is checked at the same time.
        function spellCheck() {
            var elements = [new Telerik.Web.UI.Spell.HtmlElementTextSource($get("<%= txtSCSDetails.ClientID %>")),
                            new Telerik.Web.UI.Spell.HtmlElementTextSource($get("<%= txtMessage.ClientID %>"))];
            var spellSource = new Telerik.Web.UI.Spell.MultipleHtmlElementsSource(elements);
            var spell = $find("<%= rsSpell.ClientID %>");
            spell.spellCheck(spellSource);
        }

        function SendSMSAfterSpell(sender, args) {
            args.suppressCompleteMessage = true;

            var text;
            text = $find("<%= txtMessage.ClientID %>");
            text.updateDisplayValue();

            text = $find("<%= txtSCSDetails.ClientID %>");
            text.updateDisplayValue();

            SendMessage(); // this does the postback, which still sees the controls as having incorrect spelling
        }
