Putting an SVG element in the editor content will throw an exception under IE. Workaround (Make sure to add the script element with the fix right after the RadEditor declaration): <telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1"> <Content> <svg height="100" width="100"> <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="red" /> </svg> </Content> </telerik:RadEditor> <script type="text/javascript"> var oldMarkListItems = Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.WordListConverter.prototype.markListItems; Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.WordListConverter.prototype.markListItems = function(htmlText) { if (!htmlText) return htmlText; return oldMarkListItems.call(this, htmlText); }; </script>
