Commented Issue: HtmlEditorExtender does not dynamically load well in an update panel and placeholder [27181]

When loaded dynamically in a placeholder, the control is not rendered properly.
It works well without the updatePanel


<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" ChildrenAsTriggers="true" UpdateMode="Always">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolder1" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>


Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim txtRichText As New TextBox
txtRichText.TextMode = TextBoxMode.MultiLine
txtRichText.Columns = 23
txtRichText.Rows = 20
txtRichText.Width = New WebControls.Unit(100, UnitType.Percentage)
txtRichText.ID = "txtRichText"
txtRichText.Width = 700
txtRichText.Height = 150


Dim txtRichTextEditor As New AjaxControlToolkit.HtmlEditorExtender
txtRichTextEditor.ID = "HtmlEditorExtender"
txtRichTextEditor.TargetControlID = "txtRichText"
txtRichTextEditor.Toolbar.Add(New AjaxControlToolkit.Copy())

Comments: Hi, I too have encountered this problem and tried the solution proposed by @ t010t, but the error persists and I can not fix it if I use updatepanel. I also downloaded the latest version of Ajax Control Toolkit (December 2013), but one and the same problem. Do you have other solution or alternative? thanks
