RadEditor Find/Replace functionalities are not working in IE. The following workaround could be used temporarily: <script type="text/javascript"> var $T = Telerik.Web.UI; Telerik.Web.UI.RadEditor.prototype.setActive = function () { if (this._emptyMessageContainer) this._hideEmptyMessage(); if ($telerik.isIE && this.getSelection().isControl()) return; var curArea = this.get_mode() == $T.EditModes.Html ? this._getTextArea() : this.get_contentArea(); if (curArea && curArea.setActive) curArea.setActive(); }; Telerik.Web.UI.RadEditor.prototype.setActiveIfElementIsNotInContent = function () { if (this._emptyMessageContainer) this._hideEmptyMessage(); if ($telerik.isIE && this.getSelection().isControl()) return; var curArea = this.get_mode() == $T.EditModes.Html ? this._getTextArea() : this.get_contentArea(); var activeElement = this.get_document().activeElement; var activeElementIsInContent = (activeElement && activeElement === curArea) || $.contains(curArea, activeElement); if (curArea && curArea.setActive && !activeElementIsInContent) { curArea.setActive(); } }; </script>
