detachEventHandler

This function detaches an event handler.  

function detachEventHandler (event, eventHandler)
event	string	Specifies a standard DHTML event.
eventHandler	function	Specifies the function that will no longer be called when the event fires

Example

The example below attaches a "onkeydown" event handler during the RadEditor OnClientLoad event. The HTML button click runs a "detach()" function where a reference to the editor is retrieved and the detachEventHandler() function is called.

<script type="text/javascript">
    var myKeydownHandler;
    function OnClientLoad(editor, args)    
    {        
        myKeydownHandler = function(e)        
        {            
            alert("Content area key down " + e.keyCode);        
        };                     
        editor.attachEventHandler("onkeydown", myKeydownHandler);     
    }
    function detach()    
    {
        // get a reference to RadEditor1 client object        
        var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>");
        editor.detachEventHandler("onkeydown", myKeydownHandler);
    }       
</script>
<telerik:RadEditor RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" ID="RadEditor1">
</telerik:RadEditor>
<input id="Button1" type="button" value="button" onclick="detach()" />

To detach to external events such as click and blur use the RadEditor removeExternalHandler function with the following syntax:

$Telerik.removeExternalHandler(element, event, eventHandler)
element	object	Specifies the element to which will be detached from the event
event	string	Specifies the external (i.e. onclick, onfocus and onblur) event.
eventHandler	function	Specifies the function that will be detached

Example

The example below demonstrates an external event being attached to a handler during the RadEditor OnClientLoad event. In this case the external "click" event for the RadEditor document fires a "myClick()" handler function. When you run the example, clicking in the content area of RadEditor displays an alert. A standard HTML button calls a "detach()" function that gets a reference to the editor, gets a reference to the document from the editor and finally calls removeExternalHandler, passing the document element, the name of the event "click" and the name of the function to be detached.

<script type="text/javascript">    
    function OnClientLoad(editor, args)    
    {        
        // get a reference to the document body if IE, otherwise get the document object        
        var element = document.all ? editor.get_document().body : editor.get_document();         
        // add the "myClick()" handler for the document "click" event          
        $telerik.addExternalHandler(element, "click", myClick)    
    }
    function myClick()    
    {         
        alert('You just clicked in the editor');    
    }
    function detach()    
    {        
        // get a reference to RadEditor1 client object        
        var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>");        
        // get a reference to the document body if IE, otherwise get the document object        
        var element = document.all ? editor.get_document().body : editor.get_document();
        // remove the "myClick()" handler for the document "click" event            
        $telerik.removeExternalHandler(element, "click", myClick);
    }
</script>
<telerik:RadEditor RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" ID="RadEditor1">
</telerik:RadEditor>
<input id="Button1" type="button" value="button" onclick="detach()" />

In earlier versions, removeExternalHandler() was referred to through the Telerik.Web.DomElement object.Since then has undergone significant optimization of core scripts (script size was reduced by over 100K, and the controls now load even faster). One of the optimizations was to group all core functionality into a single JavaScript class/object referred to as $telerik .

So, the correct way to refer to a "system" method is: $telerik.removeExternalHandler()
