XHTML Strict - Using "rel" instead of "target" in anchors

[Darren]

Greetings,

XHTML Strict does not allow the "target" attribute inside of an anchor. Instead, I have used rel="external" combined with some javascript when trying to open links in a new window. I would like to modify the default link manager to do this. So, instead of being able to select a "target" in the link manager, I would like to choose a value for "rel".

I was able to successfully customize the link manager by route of the ExternalDialogsPath property in the radEditor so that the drop down menu values are correct. However, I am unable to figure out how to override the callback function when the anchor is pasted back into the editor. When inserting an anchor into the radEditor, I would like to change the default of "target":

var myCallbackFunction = function(sender, args) {
      editor.pasteHtml(String.format("<a href={0} target='{1}' class='{2}'>{3}</a> ", args.href, args.target, args.className, args.name));
     //---------------------------------------------^
}

 

to "rel":

var myCallbackFunction = function(sender, args) {
      editor.pasteHtml(String.format("<a href={0} rel='{1}' class='{2}'>{3}</a> ", args.href, args.target, args.className, args.name));
     //-------------------------------------------^
}

I am sure I am overlooking something simple but cannot find a solution online.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi Darren,

There are two ways to modify the content returned by the Link manager dialog:

1) To override the set_callbackFunction:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server" OnClientCommandExecuting="OnClientCommandExecuting"></telerik:RadEditor>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientCommandExecuting(sender, args) {
        var commandName = args.get_commandName();
        if (commandName == "LinkManager")
            args.set_callbackFunction(function(sender, args) {
                //this is the current output of the MediaManager
                var output = args.get_value();
                alert(output);
                //add some modifications to the output

            })
    }
</script>

2) or to attach to the OnClientPasteHtml event, check for the LinkManager command and modify the value returned by the args.set_value() method.
