Setting a content as the following one: <html> <head> </head> <body> <h2>content</h2> </body> </html> After switching the editor mode and creating a post back, a JavaScript error is thrown in the browser console. A possible resolution is overriding the detachEvents methods of the editor with the provided ones. You can use the following setup as example, note that the script tag should be after the RadEditor declaration to override the methods correctly: <telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" ContentFilters="none"> <Content> <html> <head> </head> <body> <h2>content</h2> </body> </html> </Content> </telerik:RadEditor> <asp:Button Text="text" runat="server" OnClick="Unnamed_Click" /> <script type="text/javascript"> Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.NodesTracker.prototype.detachEvents = function () { if (!this.isActive) return; var contentArea = this.editor.get_contentArea(); this.editor.remove_submit(this.cleanUpDelegate); try { $telerik.removeHandler(contentArea, "keyup", this.keyupDelegate); $telerik.removeHandler(contentArea, "keydown", this.keydownDelegate); } catch (ex) { } $telerik.removeExternalHandler(contentArea, "paste", this.pasteDelegate); } Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.EmptyWhitespaceCharTracker.prototype.detachEvents = function () { var contentArea = this.editor.get_contentArea(); this.editor.remove_submit(this.cleanUpDelegate); try { $telerik.removeHandler(contentArea, "keypress", this.cleanUpDelegate); } catch (ex) { } $telerik.removeExternalHandler(contentArea, "mousedown", this.cleanUpDelegate); $telerik.removeExternalHandler(contentArea, "touchstart", this.cleanUpDelegate); } </script>
