The toolbar doesn't show when its mode is ShowOnFocus and PageTop in IE11 A possible resolution is to attach a function to the editor's "focusin" event, the logic of which is to force the visibility state of the toolbar. You can examine the following example: <telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" ToolbarMode="ShowOnFocus" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad"> </telerik:RadEditor> <script type="text/javascript"> function OnClientLoad(editor, args) { editor.attachEventHandler("focusin", function (e) { var toolAdapter = editor.get_toolAdapter(); setTimeout(function () { var isVisible = toolAdapter._toolbarHolder ? toolAdapter._toolbarHolder.isVisible() : false; if (!isVisible) { toolAdapter._showToolbarHolder(true); } }, 0) }); } </script>
