When creating a tree view with nodes which on click create instances of the RadEditor and pasting inside the content of the second instance throws a JavaScript error. The following workaround will help you avoid this behavior: Set this function to the OnClientLoad property (OnClientLoad = 'OnLoad') function OnLoad(editor, args) { var originalGetPasteIFrame = Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Utils._getPasteIframe; Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Utils._getPasteIframe = function (parentDoc, editor) { if ($telerik.isIE8) { $telerik.$(this._pasteIframe).remove(); this._pasteIframe = null; } return originalGetPasteIFrame.call(this, parentDoc, editor); } }
