Solution 1

It simply means that you don't have an active editor, and no editor named "editor1". You probably did not instantiate any. This error message is the usual message shown when you try to use undefined object (never initialized variable, for example), or null.

That's all one can see from your information. If you need some more, you would have to create and show some self-consistent code sample.

Hi Sergey,

My page is having editor with Id: "editor1".
I am getting the value on code behind but not in the Javascript written on the same page
Below is the Control code:
<asp:TextBox ID="editor1" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" TextMode="MultiLine"
Rows="30" Style="width: 60%" CssClass="tinymce" />

Not clear. What code behind? This is a pure HTML/Javascript editor, all in client side.
Without any code sample, it's hard to understand what have you done.

I used it as a Server control by adding runat="server" to it.
I tried by removing runat="server" also but having same issue.
