The error causes the editor's content area not to render. The following script can be used as a temporary workaround: <telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEdior1" OnClientSelectionChange="OnClientSelectionChange"> </telerik:RadEditor> <script type="text/javascript"> function OnClientSelectionChange(editor, args) { if (!editor.getSelectedElement()) { editor.focusFirstText(); } } </script>
