Workaround: <telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad"> <Content>Whether you need a mere Textbox with Google-like spellchecker, or a Word-like content authoring environment, the result is the same: clean <strong>XHTML</strong></Content> </telerik:RadEditor> <script> function OnClientLoad(sender, args) { sender.add_spellCheckLoaded(spellCheckLoaded) } function spellCheckLoaded(sender) { var editor = sender; var spell = editor.get_ajaxSpellCheck(); spell.add_spellCheckEnd(function (sender, args) { editor.set_html(editor.get_html(true)); }); } </script>
